I've  rebuilt engines with rod knock before where the crank was fine.   
Others, the crank and rod were shot. You just don't know for sure   
until it's apart.




Ultimately, you're right... truth will be told when it's torn down.   
However, he did drive it around some... and allowed it to get to the point where  it 
became very loud.  This usually means a trashed journal, and an out of  round 
big end of the rod.
I guess we'll see when he gets it apart.
