LOL.
It wasn't rod knock. Though in my defense, it sounded EXACTLY like it on the Skyline Drive.
A bunch of us looked at it tonight, and found #6 spark plug coated in oil and really messed up. It must've been defective or something but thankfully no broken bits fell inside. Also the VC gasket is bad and was leaking a lot (cause of oil in there), so new gasket/plugs/and wires will be going in soon. Yeah....didn't think I needed to change them that often (~8000 miles on them). New plug went in for the interim, started and ran fine. So, it looks like I'll be keeping the car, at least for the meantime.
Thanks to Jeff and Pete for coming to the rescue at the first whiff of danger, and DJ, Ryan, Blair and Paul for takin a look-see
Flame suit on.
