It only happens when its under a load? Not quite sure what it would be but it certainly doesnt sound good. Good luckon the fix, hope it isnt serious.

Wouldn't you be able to hear a rod knock with the engine unloaded? Then with your stethoscope be able to narrow where a knock would be as you blip the throttle? Could it be pinging under acceleration? Similar to a bad fuel or spark? It could be what you are thinking on the rod failure, just throwing other thoughts out there before an engine tear down.

Good luck and welcome to KF.

Thanks for the fix answer. $250 for a front sprocket, rear sprocket and labor does not sound too bad. Congrats on the fix.
