how long can you drive a car with rod knock?

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.

Re: (Psychoteen101)
right now you are looking at replacing the bearings, possible crank, possible rods.....if you keep driving you will probaly have to replace the entire motor including the head....catch a ride unless you have some deep pockets

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??
