how long can you drive a car with rod knock?
 

yeah my type r motor just got the early sounds of rod knock, but i got to get to work. It still got all its power and you can barely here hit but i know its going to get worse. How long can i get a way with this?

until the rod flys out the side of the block......then you cant run it anymore.

On a type R??? honestly even if that was my primary form of transportation i would shut it off and not start it until it is fixed so you do not do anymore damage. A type R is worth too much money to keep driving. You would be better off buying a POS daily driver than driving on the motor and risking it blowing up.

Do not drive th car anymore!!!!

Catch a ride, take the bus, ride your bike, walk, take a taxi, but do not destroy your motor so you can get to work.

It's time for a rebuild. Keep us updated.

This has to be the dumbest thread i have read on here. Why would you destroy a perfect block you have to be an idiot. And risking your girl's life what happens if that thing would have caught fire??
