Flush the motor with water, make sure when your doing this the motor is on. Once its flushed it should be perfect! Add oil, and your set. ---

Dude, you need an engine oil bypass kit from kalecoauto. You don’t want the oil getting dirty running through the engine. ---

Please tell us you’re not serious, it’s not funny, it just makes you look like a retard. If you are serious, you’re fucked, your motor is screwed man. Take it to someone who knows what they’re doing and prepare for a big bill. ---

yep, that would be rod knock, bearings need oil to keep them lubricated and once you lose that the bearing will just shred itself from friction against the crank. the second a bit of play develops it just gets worse as the bearing is eaten up. New motor time, or if you’re bold you can take on the task of rebuilding. Good luck! ---

Hey dude, Next time you hear a retarded knocking noise coming from your engine. any ENGINE, not just an SR. PULL THE FUCK OVER and STOP DRIVING. Im sorry to hear the bad news. PM me if you want some suggested mechanics to take a look at it and not fuck you around.
