Listening to it with a wrench it doesnt sound like its in the top end...
I would like to think it was (in a way) but its just not. Whatever it is its coming from the lower part of the motor...
It has to be bearings... hasta!

Try parting it out first and see how that go's
Because the junkyard is always there for the last straw

Well I paid $45 to have the car scanned.
I was told the knock sensor is showing for #6 cylinder. #6 is the cylinder that had the largest amount of rust in it.
I have bought a replacement piston.
Tonight I pulled the motor from the car. Its the only way to do this.
Ive got enough money in the car I dont mind throwing another $250ish into it.
I gotta buy a ring set ($68), head bolts($28), head gaskets($30), and a crank shaft w/bearings($137).
WIsh me luck

Well I got #6 out. No crack that I can see in the piston.
THe pin didnt appear to be cracked either. I pressed it out on the hydraulic press @ work. Messed up the old piston
Pressed on the new one and it doesnt float well?
I guess it was supposed to be heated first???
arghhhh
