Rod Knock???? HELP
So for the past two days I've been hearing this funny noise on a cold start, i suspect it is rod knock but im not really sure because once the car is warmed up the noise seems to go away. However im not a VQ expert and was hoping someone would be able to tell me what that noise is. Ive attached a video so you guys see what im talking about.
p.s i just did my oil change today and switched from 5w30 to 5w40... i change my oil every 3000 miles. Looking forward to your guys response.

Yea then it's a good chance you bent one.
My buddy bent his doing a burn out after our canyon run last month.
I'd take it to a shop and have them replace the rods and make sure the block is ok still. Changing the oil is just a bandaid for a missing leg.
Might help but not for long. Only a matter of time till it's done and dead.
