Hi all, I think I've got a rod bearing that's going bad on our '95 Odyssey (knocking under moderate and light load on the engine that disappears when I pull the spark plug wire off cylinder number 3). I'm going to drop the oil pan this weekend and have a look to see if anything feels loose when I try and wiggle it. It's going to be a short time before I'm able to really try and fix this either by trying to replace the bearing (if that's what it is) or replace the engine if that looks like the better way to go.
Since I'll be pulling the pan anyway, I'll be refilling with fresh oil; is it worth using a heavier oil to try and minimize further damage or will that just cause more problems?
Thanks,
Greg
