Ok after 2 ppl flaking on me.. i found a dude with a h22 that wants to trade me for my greddy evo2 exhaust....but he told me straight up that the engine had a knock sound.first of all is it a good trade my greddy exhaust for his complete h22 swap that knock? Whats the most likely part that knocks( piston,crank,etc..

ask him to pull the oil pan off so you can look at the rods 1st and see if there discolord or blue... if he wont do that for you walk away... if the rod bearing is spun bad enough to dis-color the rod it probally trashed the crank, if all the rods look ok, ask him to pop the caps so you can look at the bearings.... if ther rods arent "blued" it could be possible to just polish the crank and resize the rods, and blance it and itd be ok :thumb: thats just my opinion tho
