Engine Broke, Need feedback/ options
here is the scoop, got a 98 vert A4, 103k, only thing left stock was bottom end and tranny. got all possible boltons, g5x3, headers, intake, ghl, installed the AFR 205 , test drive, no prob, 1 day later, clanging noise from engine, rpm related, the more rpm the louder it is. installer thinks lifter, and stock oil pump, both replaced, still noisy, now were saying spun rod bearing , what are my options(used low mile z06 block and swap everything over) less labor and time involved. or ??? found a member on forum selling 2001 z06 block $1,500 with 1,500 miles, only problem with that was the oil consumption problem, don't want that, need a solution like yesterday, ready to buy (at right price) and ship immediately next day or 2 . thanks all.

Sorry to hear about your troubles..
FWIW, that 2001 block has nothing to do w/ the oil burning issue.. Just the rings used during that model year. That won't be an issue for you, as you will use the "good rings". So if that block fits your needs, don't hestiate because of the oil issue.
