So it's an 06 a/t coupe with 106k on it. I've got a noise coming from what sounds to be the lower end of the motor. How hard is it to get the oil pan out to replace the bearings? At least that's what I hope it is. The motor is not making metal as of the last ol change.

 

could you take a video?

does the noise change with the rpm?

 

No video. Going to look at it today. I'm going to check the oil pressure. But it stays pretty constant thru the rpm range.

 

Does it get faster or slower based on rpm?

 

Faster

There is no loss or spike in oil pressure tho.

 

Did you ever resolve the rod knock? I wondered about accessing the bottom end through the oil pan. Probably less complicated to remove the engine.
