I've not heard of anyone having bad luck like that :eek:

If you've got knock, then you need your engine rebuilt.

not common but happened the me a few weekends ago, my cars now selling as a parts car :( i miss its speed

happened to me as well, got a used engine in it now and no problems, but i have heard it is a common thing on 1st gens
