depends on youre budget and goal is.
might be cheaper to buy a swap from h-motors or somewhere else.
or if you want to build for boost
send the motor out and sleeve it
it all depends on what you want.,,

Re: So i have a rod knock, now what should i do?
well supposibly the guy who had the car before me put new rod bearings and rings.
he had to keep making it a point that he put chromoly rings. "chromoly rings, chromoly rings, chromoly rings. im like " i dont give a *****".
anyways, im thinkin if he did rebuild im thinkin i can get away with just fixing the problem, which is most likely either a rod bearing torque thing, or some **** with the wrist pin.
but on the other hand i was thinkin about putting low compression pistons in for a later planned turbo. how bad would that affect drivability without a turbo on. would i risk damaging the engine?
and even on another note, i would like gsr swap, but they want like 1800 for complete engine, with no ecu or harness, bout 1200 for just the long block.
so maybe ls/vtec?
i am on a tight budget. i can maybe squeeze out about $200 a month for the car.

Re: So i have a rod knock, now what should i do?
so i have decided i am going to pull out the engine this weekend and fix the problem.
now please correct me if i am wrong but the rod knock could only be one of two things:
-rod bearing
-wrist pin
i will need IM gasket, EM gasket, head gasket, oil pan gasket, oil, and whatever is broken. let me know if im missing anything.
well now after i see this list of parts, im realizing that this is going to cost more than a pick and pull motor.
sigh.

simple, call hmo and get a good low mile jdm ls or b20, and swap it out, keep your current motor for your future turbo build. Always easier to build a motor on the side, rather than have all the down time while your dd is sent out.
