I got a ka24e enine on my 240, i first started hearing the knock a few months back......then it started getting louder, and lounder until i just decided to not drive it anymore.....i'm guessing it's something serious. but my dad keeps telling me that it might just be a loose piston rod, or something......I just want to know if this is possible.....or alse i can just try to get a new engine.....thanks.

It could be a piston rod, in which you want to check compression, and also if it was a piston rod then a knock is the least of your worries. I dont know if it is cheaper to fix or do an engine swap.They're generally around the same price.
