what could this be? lolI went for 1 drive and came back with low oil and next to no anti freeze, had a big leak

Its rod knock..

[1995240sxSE]

I know, sucks huh just got it running!!! Could I just put new rods in???

[nissanfanatic]

Just buy another running KA.. Cheaper and less work.

i have been looking cant find harldey any around here. shipping is killing me for freight! I could in theory... remove engine, pull oil pan, remove crank, pull out all rods/pistons. replace rods. then put back togother. right, with out having to pull head apart? rebuild from the bottom.

[nissanfanatic]

Probably not. There has obviously been some metal to metal contact that resulted in excessive wear on either/both the crankshaft and rod.. The rod may be out of tolerance and you will need to undersize it and run oversized bearings..

Keep looking for a used KA.

And you will have to pull the head off...

Totally with Cory on this one. Find a used engine and rock on.

my old engine did that same sound but not that loud , my ka had 242k miles,I just went ahead and bought a new ka with 150k miles and went ahead and changed the valve seals and the main seals, compression 165 all across. believe me those things go out quik.
