Car Forum / Jeep / February 2006Rod Knock Question
I have what I think is a rod knocking. My question is this, should I change out all of them or is this something that I can get away with only replacing/repairing the bad one? Its on a 75 CJ5 with the 232 I6, and I am almost positive that the guts are all original. TIA Brandon I would say replace them all.. if one is knocking the rest can't be far away....

This is a good repair for getting the vehicle to a trade in facility.

One way is to hack saw the big end off the rod, and bolt it back onto the journal with beer can shims. That also takes care of balancing issues, sort of.

It'll need going through (at the least to refresh the gaskets) but it is free to anyone who wants it. > I have what I think is a rod knocking.
