Hi All,
I have a buddy with a 260 Bayliner (I think it is '01). He heard a clattering noise this past weekend coming from his engine. He had his mechanic look at it and the diagnosis is a 'thrown rod'. His mechanic is saying this can only be fixed by replacing the engine. Is this true? If you experience a thrown rod, does the engine have to be replaced? Or can it be rebuilt? Thanks in advance.
