    rod knock

    how long can a LT1 run with a rod knock?

    oil pressure is fine, but there is a loss of power

    just curious how long an engine can go with a rod knock before getting worse (I'm assuming it will either go boom or seize up eventually right?)

        It generally goes boom - in a very big fashion.
