Big end bearing death rattle?

Hey all,

Pretty sure this is a big end bearing death rattle......

Just wondering if anyone can possibly confirm this?
Noise gets much, MUCH worse when it's revved.

Cheers!

Yep, definitely sounds like the big end to me!

Woooo she stuffed mate unfortunately ...

Did this noise progressively get worse or just happened?

Noticed a slight rattle when I was driving. Then next time I started it, this was going on.

Now I just need to know what my options are if anyone can help!

How many K's are you at?

148k.

I'm wondering if there is any chance it could be something else because the sound literally appeared instantly, it wasn't a slow knocking sound coming on as most have described before the big end bearing going. Though, there's every chance I may not have heard or notice this.....

There was a severe loss of power, I could barely manage to ge tto 60km/h driving it home. Is this a result of the big end bearing going?
I've been told to get a compression test before jumping to any conclusions.

Drop the oil through a strainer to see whats in it...
Go from there. I can give you a hand if you are not too far away from Collingwood...

I'm in Croydon.

I'll drop the oil as soon as I can and see what's in there.
