Well here I go again. I have a 79 midget. Last week I started hearing a
faint knock when I gave it gas. Today it got louder. So I went straight to
the Mg guru.. He says by listening it sounds like I have blown a rod. I don't
know this mechanic but I have been told he is the best we have here in
southeast MO. So I need your opinions as to what he says needs to be done.
First he says that he will Drop the oil pan to look at it. If it is a rod he
will have to pull the engine to fix.. If this is true, I would be a fool not
to go ahead and replace the clutch. Right? Is there anything else I should
do while I have the engine out? What I'm thinking is after he pulls the
engine I will go get the body, bring it home & clean up & paint the engine
bay. Anybody else out there who have been through this, I would appreciate
your insights into what you did or what you wish you would have done. Thanks
in advance.
