I have a 2000 Honda Insight with 148,000 miles on it and it has developed a definite knocking sound from the engine. I'm thinking it is probably a rod knock but whatever it is, the engine is going to have to come out.
If it is a bad connecting rod bearing the normal fix is to have the crank shaft turned and put in over size bearings and with this much mileage one usually rebuilds the whole motor. However in my case parts for this thing are going to be expensive so I might just fix what needs fixed and leave the rest alone.
I have had some experience with rebuilding motors but this beast is a lot different. Dose anyone have any advice for me?
