ok, so, i inherited an '01 se from my folks. The engine started knocking, so they instantly use it as an excuse to buy a prius. Well, anyway, i cant argue with a free car. I dropped the oil pan and such, the rod bearings were toast, but, besides that. Nothing seems to be wrong, im in the midst of changeing bearings. But id like to know if theres any other problems that could come up as a result of this bearing failure, or, ways to prevent such in the future, i figure it was caused by the bloody oil circulation problems in these horrid little 2.7's. Any suggestions, and, pls dont just tell me to swap it for a 3.2 or 3.5. Im already planning on doing that, but, i need this motor to last me another year first. I just dont have the money to dish out to pick up a motor, or the time for a swap yet. pls help, any suggestions would be much appreciated. thx
