so my sister ran her '94 integra low on oil. i got a call that it was "making noise". i listened to it on the phone as she's in temecula and i'm not. it's definitely rod knock, not horrible, but it's knocking. i had her stop driving it and tow it home(it'd only been making the noise since that morning). i have now been recruited to fix this thing. what are the chances that it can be saved with a bottom end bearing replacement? obviously, i won't know how bad it is until i pull some caps. anybody here have experience with these motors? assuming new mains and rods will fix it, how much of a PITA is it to do this from the underside with the motor in the car? would it be worth the hassle of pulling the whole thing out? if it matters at all, i'm being told it's a gsr.
