Well,the 97 is OFFICIALLY dead. rod knock. Dunno if we are gonna gut the motor and try to repair that along with the pistons,bearings,etc....but....I had the motor mostly rebuilt before I sold it to my brother and apparently he liked to tap redline more than he liked to save gas. I guess by doing this I'll learn how to rebuild the 94 so my other brother and I are gonna do his motor too.
Sadness. R.I.P. original motor. 180k miles.
