Symptoms of bad rod bearings?
When i first start my car and its really cold my motor gets a sudden knock,for about 1 second(the first full rotate of the rotating assembly)then it is fine.Is that a sign of a rod bearing getting to the point of failure?I had plans to do acl bearings when i do my oil pan gasket but dang this just did it this morning.After that the car runs perfectly fine,other than a weird idle at some times.
Any ideas on what to do are appreciated.

wow, if it made noise like that from the mounts, they suck. I've has solid mounts for YEARS with no noise. I haven't meet one person yet with "mount noise"
