[s-cars] Rod knock? metal head gaskets, ARP studs, + CPS?

[Emre Washburn]

Steve,

As uncommon it is, it happened to me last summer. Around the same time
another lister also had a shop diagnose that he had a rod knock. A few
months before that Cody Payne also had a rod knock. All three of us
did our #5 bearings in. Yet it's still a rare occurrence. We must have
been the unlucky few (Well Cody smartly used it as an excuse to
rebuild his AAN with stronger rods).
