Hey guys my MY99 started making a very loud knocking sound after a long drive.

The engine ran fine before and it only started making the noise about 200m from my destination. The car is stock except for a CBE and BOV. 153km on the clock.

Sounds like piston knock? Probably due to big end bearing problem???

Has anyone had a similar problem? Is there any chance it can be something that doesn't involve a rebuild? (ie valve...)

Thanks guys any help would be appreciated.



PROBLEM NOW FIXED - WAS CAUSED BY A BIG END BEARING FAILURE ON CYLINDER 3
