My cars been sitting for a while now and sadly I don't have space to fix it myself.
Basically it needs the main/rod bearing replaced since I ran out of oil and had a knock. It knocks little past 3k now after I added oil. Obviously I've stopped driving the car to prevent more damage. I need someone in the houston area who's willing to either replace just the bearings and do a timing belt job too since it was leaking from there. OR swap out the motor with another replacement. I see them going for $1100 average with the wiring and sometimes transmission. (If lucky) If that's the case we just need to take the old one out and put the new one. It's a 2nd gen 3sgte with a s54 -------------------- For Sale:OEM tail lights - make offer

Chances are its not a bent rod. Its most likely a rod bearing where the material has gone away. I have pictures of this in my 7A build thread.
Malhar, since you are in Katy, you can go to my buddies shop in Sealey. http://www.ddperformanceresearch.com He is a former Toyota engineer and has a bad ass shop. Tell him that I sent you. This post has been edited by Smaay: Oct 13, 2014 - 10:37 AM -------------------- 2001 Celica GT-S Turbo
