Default Re: Bad rod bearing

If it is a bad rod bearing, you can easily identify which one by shorting out the spark plugs one at a time. When the noise stops, that is the cylinder with the problem. Then, drop the sump and take off the head. The rod can be removed and replaced without removing anything more. I did it on a friend's car one day on the side of the road.
