Alternative to Rod Knock?! - Toyota Yaris Forums

myfirstyota · 03-05-2019, 07:58 PM

FWIW, and it's not worth much, lost an engine to POSSIBLE rod knock. My old 300M special. The engine was silent till about 480,000km at which point it developed a slight tick (religious 5k oil changes). It gradually got louder till 534,000. Then on Christmas eve the tick became noticeable while driving down the hiway. I thought I should probably get my boy home. Just after flipping around, the tick turned to a thunk. Now I say possible rod knock because of the noises it was making. You'd have thought it was In time with the rpm. And it was nasty. In the end, he just didn't have it in him and died 2km from home. I never investigated because I had no intention of replacing the engine in a car with over half million km. But hadn't owned a yaris at that point lol

If you are getting coolant in your oil, not good. But I'm gonna have to go with "too new and no real reports of those problems" idea.
