Hello Everyone,

It's been a long time since I have been on the forums. I have/had (sold to my father) a 99 Vehicross which started to have a rod knock right at 60,350. This happened years ago when it would have still been under warranty but they said since it's over 60k miles they couldn't fix it.

My father has had it for years now planning on redoing the engine but he hasn't gotten around to it and I just wanted to ask you guys what do you think the best way would be to go about fixing it? I saw some posts from before but I was wondering what the most up to date information would be.

-Same engine or if there is a better engine that could be swapped without real modifications.

-If there are any other procedures that don't require a full engine swap that could be tried.

-Any other things that should be checked before this is done.

-And if anybody knows of a replacement engine somewhere around Las Vegas

Thanks in advance and if I've missed a similar post please direct me to it. I just want to get as much info together as possible to help get this done for my father. It's a shame for it it be sitting in the garage and everything else on the vehicross is great.

(I don't know if there are any old members on here but I was at the one VX meet in St. Charles, IL many years ago and I had just picked up the VX at the time but couldn't drive it because of a lic plate issue)
