acox99 74 1 Cars Posted August 29, 2006 My MI engine has a knocking noise from the bottom end and i suspect its a big end bearing, which would mean having the crank re-ground, but is it worth getting it balanced as well? where is the best place to get it done, want to use it for track days so will get a regular thrashing.

Miles 331 1 Cars Posted August 29, 2006 Sounds like the all too common big end failure, You might get away with a grind if your lucky or worst case the cranks can bend and bugger up the rod as well, Just depends on how far it's been driven Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
