Well Saturday I was cruising 410 in San Antonio w/my friend, putting miles on the Integra I built Friday, at about 75. Wasn't speeding, racing, or putting any unnecessary stress on my car at the time. Well an incline came alone and my slushbox decides it needs to down shift. So I'm going up a hill at about 4.5K rpm. and i hear this quiet tapping start. then it slowly gets louder. I call up my friend real quick and tell him i blew my engine, so we pull over at the next exit. I top off my oil and we decide to go back to where we were staying that weekend. 10-15 miles away. So I drive back. Tapping slowly getting worse. So by the time I get into the Garage I'm stuck w/ this:

money now... isnt too abundant. it may be a bit before i can swap. so i may just do a quick rebuild so i can drive it again.
im really looking at the 3VZ-FE, though. almost bought one and all.. but that fell through

So does anyone think i could just replace all the rod bearings to get away with this for a few months?

I can't check the video [I'm at work], but I'm assuming you have rod knock.
You most definitly have a chance of the engine running fine if you just replace the bearings, but there's no guarantee. It all depends how badly you damaged the crank [if any] while you drove it like that.
Parts for this will be relatively cheap, 8 bearings [or 2 if you just do 1 rod], FPIG or silicone and exhaust gaskets/bolts/nuts.
Labor is a bit more, probably 2 - 3 hours.

labor?
no no no. i don't do "labor" lol
i do it myself. i have a rebuild, a performance build under my belt, with a swap in progress.
i can pull off rod bearings
im pretty sure its rod knock. definatly from the bottom end, engine runs on 4 cyl so i assume its not thrown or anything. just a little lost power. still idles and starts fine

I spun all the rod bearings on a Talon TSI i had and then turned the crank cause it was scored, replaced the rod/main bearings and then drove it for 250 miles before it spun another bearing...problem was in the oil pump, it got all chewed up apparently.
wow so i bought the bearings. they are TINY compared to the B18 i built
no wonder they had problems lol i will update in a few days as to how the motor stands
edit: i bought all 8 bearings. it sounded like i got just 2

b18 ones are large because it has an aluminum block.
cast iron blocks need less support.
