"rod knock" refers to bad bearings.

you need to talk to a local engine builder. your gonna hurt yourself.

What kind of car do you have?

If you want to change out internals, you are going to need pistons, rods, rings, bearings, as well as other parts, depending on what you (he) are (is) looking for.

dude seriously

open a phone book, call local shops, see who they recommend for engine building. talk to your builder.

building an engine is not a game. you will spend thousands of dollars, and if you pick the wrong part it can all destroy itself in seconds.
