B16 with a B20 bottom end. I think I overfilled her with oil, now this. Do I need to replace the whole engine or can it be fixed?
Thank you for the reply. She started burning oil before this happened, do you think that means I'll need to change more than just the bottom end?Time for a rebuild. Sounds like a rod has gone.
New Crank
New Rod
In saying this I spun a rod bearing in my B16 that is still in the car. Swapped the bearing out and put a new one it. It still has the issue but I am building a B18c so didn't want to strip it down.
Easy way, another bottom end and your head should be fine. Pull the pan and see how much damage is in there
Yeah that's usually what happens, starts to excessively use up oil. A completely rebuilt or new bottom end should do the trick as that's where your issue lies. While the engine is out though, you're best to clean up the head internals as it could have metal bits going around in there.Thank you for the reply.

Have you checked that the spark plugs are tight? I had a similar noise before and it was just a spark plug that had worked it's way loose, bouncing up and down in the hole.
Might be worth checking as that's a super cheap fix!
