... either way, the knock started off quiet and has progressed into something that becomes irritating... I crank my stereo to drowned it out.
I have never heard of it getting that loud...

its a desludgafier LOL, all I know is that it cleans the gunk out of the engines, its apparently very effective. might also want to look into auto-rx as thats what the legend people tend to agree works better than seafoam.

well, you would have to move the front engine mount back, as well as swap in all the components since none will be compatible, a/c power steering water pump, etc. or you can find similar model in a junkyard (there is one off 249 that has 4 or 5 5g accords in it) and buy the entire front clip (fenders, bumper, hood, lights) and then everything will fit easier.
I think first and foremost you should give it a good auto-rx treatment, or if you can't find auto-rx, settle for seafoam, available at autozone for $15 I believe. there is a 1/3:1/3:1/3 application method, crankcase, pvc, and gas tank, just do a search. then when you do the oil change right after that, add the lucas and see if that helps. if not, THEN look into an engine swap. It'll be much better to spend $25-30 to attempt to fix the problem than to spend $1000+ for an engine swap.
