However, since all he had was the video/sound, and I prompted him to give an opinion, he said this; "Sounds like it's about ready to toss a rod thru the block. I'd say it's lost a rod bearing like most uncared for 3800's."

In any event, good luck.
Does anyone know how does one replace a rod bearing? And what would be the proper way to go about diagnosing it?


And here's the question. When I got the car (about 4 months ago), I babied the car. I took good care of it, gave it the best quality fluids, brakes, tires, everything. So why all of a sudden this? And it only has 65K miles on it.
