Okay I'll be honest I'm not a car mechanic, I know enough to get me in trouble....wish I had more time on my hands to fix this.

I have a 86 samurai jx model. Bought from original owner about 5 years back. Drive it when I have the chance.

The last time I drove it off roading I heard something starting to knock under hood. Now when I start it sounds like rocks in the engine....my guess is piston rod.

I'm looking to revive this guy and make it better then ever.

ANYONE KNOW A GOOD MECHANIC IN LAS VEGAS AREA OR NEAR?
