[s-cars] rod knock

[David Giannandrea]

That noise that I couldn't figure out (only knocked between 3500-4000, light
throttle)... turned out to be a rod knocking. It finally got worse, then
suddenly real bad.

So the car is at the mechanic right now. It was stock, no boost mods and I
was very happy with the stock performance, really.

The decision I will be facing in a few days is whether to buy a used engine
or to rebuild.

Any experiences with those options would be appreciated
