Anyhow, what's the best course of action?
I figure I should drop the oil pan and see what's in there. Assuming a bearing has gone, then presume it's best to pull the engine out and put a 2nd one in? No one bothers repairing this sort of thing right?

Rod knock in my 3.5?

Rod knock in my 3.5?
After a solid mud-slinging session, seems like my 3.5 V6 has developed what sounds like a bit of rod knock. Well, that's what it sounds like to me. I guess I'll get a professional ear to it, see what they think. A main bearing perhaps? Or could it be in the top of the engine? Doesn't sound like lifters.

Fix the devil you know was going to be my theory. What are the chances of getting a good low KM 3.5 DOHC second hand these days?

True...
I suppose I should find out what's really wrong with it first.
