Welditup Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 My dads 2002 s40 with 170k miles spun a rod and sounded like a bunch of nuts and bolts in a tin can even in neutral. It was a oil starvation issue. It had no oil on the dipstick! WTH! The car ran great before the issue. The car developed a nasty oil leak really fast and didnt take long. I fixed the oil leak and replaced the rod bearing but it's pretty much running on hopes and dreams now. So far its only got a very slight knock when the motor is at moderate acceleration after the installing the new bearing. Going to replace the rod and bearing on the #3 piston and flush the oil again once more. Car just needs to last another 2 months until he can buy a new car. https://postimg.org/image/58kflo6x9/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
