Rod knock is the car still drivable? If not those motors cost at the most 500 from a junk yard and is a easy swap or if you have another car this is the perfect time to swap in that 20v you had in mind

yeah its still drives just takes forever to gain speed while knocking like hell after you reach 2k, i found some 94 and 96 engines for 350-450....would a 1.8 l bolt on a 1.6 l car. how could i tell if its a loose rod or a valve dropped, would you notice a dropped valve?

No man. The tranny from the 3spd 1.6 won't bolt on into the 1.8. Not the same patter.

sounds like your engine is toast. Happened to both of my 7afes. Time for a new car?

The best bet is to take a video and post it cause another guy said he had some knocking people telling him to rebuild his motor and I think it was a cracked exhaust manifold he had ... lol .... So post a video it's easier for us to help you instead of guessing . Sometimes alot of info people say with problems then all of a sudden then say oh well this happens too ... lol

Well do you have a 4speed auto or 3 or is it manual if it's manual it will bolt right up? Or just buy the 7afe tranny too lol it's cheap

If you have the 4spd auto then you have a 1.8l and not a 1.6l.
