Hi Jeff,
About 30 years ago I had a Morris with a bad rod knock. It's easy to
isolate the offending one and because I had hardly any money then, too
many kids, dogs, cats, etc. to feed, I bought a set of rod bearings, the
correct size and just replaced the bad one. I did that until I used up
the set, took about two years, never replaced the pan gasket, just re
used it, and I then finally bought a junk yard engine. Big improvement!
