rod bearing?
Alright so ive done some asking around and i think the loud knocking coming from my engine is a rod bearing. So my question is what kind of trouble am i getting myself into by fixing this on my own? And also is this even the problem like i said its a loud knocking that has gotten worse over the last few short trips ive taken

More than likely a rod. If it's knocking then the rod bearing has probably "spun" inside the rod.
Easiest is to just plan on a complete rebuild. It can be "repaired" but the work involved is almost the same as a complete go through.
Minimum is crank turned or replaced, at least one connecting rod and main/rod bearings replaced. Be sure to replace the oil pump too.
