So the beginning of the story starts when my car started making a weird knocking noise after I turn sharply to the right about a mile away from my house. The road is narrow so it’s hard to turn on and I was going a bit too fast. Anyways long story short took it to mechanic he told me I spun a rod bearing . I replace the bearing under instruction from the mechanic only to have the bearing fail like a week later. I wondered if that was partially due to the fact that the mechanic told me to put lubrication on both sides of the bearing and after some research and finding this to be incorrect I decided to clean the back of the bearing before installing it into the Rod and Rod Cap. I just replaced it again and I can get the engine to idle all right if I’m in a forward motion with the car, but in reverse and sometimes at idle it will still make a weird knocking noise which actually sounds like it’s coming from the timing chain cover like the chain is slipping or something. Maybe it’s my oil pump wondering if you guys any suggestions for what I should do. Afraid I’m gonna have to replace the crankshaft but the sound really sounds more like it’s coming from the timing chain cover and is a different sound than the actual rod knock. Haven’t driven it much since replacing the bearings second time earlier today, since I’m scared that whatever is making that noise will simply cause the Bearing to spin again
