drawing a blank here
Okay guys need a little help here.. my mom has a 92 toyota tercel. IT has started to making a noise. I have been told that it is a rod knocking. How bad are we talking here? If a rod is knocking can the motor still be rebuilt or does it need a new motor?

The question is still asked is this motor toast or can it be revived.

Yes, a knocking motor can be fixed. The sooner the better. If you are lucky, you haven't destroyed the crank. You may need it worked on anyway, but only a teardown will tell.
Price a rebuild kit or the separate parts, and check for Japanese engine sellers as well.
I googled "japanese engines" and got this as well as many others.

My guess is the used engine from one of these guys will be the way to go.
