If the piston rod ( conrod) is disconnected from the piston then there sure is something broken as it connects the piston to the crankshaft.to make the motor go,
It could be a gudgion pin on the piston that is loose and touching the cylinder wall. It could also be the beginning of a piston and bearing failure. If it is a diesel engine check the injector.
You'll need to buy a rebuild kit for your specific model. The instructions with different kits vary from almost nothing to not much more than basic instructions. If you want complete step by step instructions, then you should buy a Haynes or Chiltons repair manual for your specific vehicle. Rebuilding a carb is really not that hard and with a good repair manual, you'll be handy at it right away.
Some public librarys have a section with repair manuals for many of the more common vehicles.
Damage has been done to the engine, the noise you hear are the piston rod bearing ( knocking lower part of engine ) you can try putting in a crank kit and have the piston rods mechin but will not last very long, will start to knock again, best bet to replace engine,good luck.
your goign to have to rebuild the engine, if there is metal flake in the oil it has taken the cam rings and rod bearings and pistons, you can get a rebuild kit from www.jcwhitney for $265.00 for engine kit with bearings new pump new lifters cam piston rings and all other parts you will be needed, you will have to bore out engine and replace cam bearings and lifters.
Are you a qualified experienced transmission rebuilder ? Automatic transmissions are NOT for playing with. It takes many years to be able to proficiently repair one, do you have a manual ? Do you have specialist tools, guages, test plates, piston spring compressors ? I have been rebuilding transmissions for nearly 35 years, i was an aprentice and went to college to be a mechanic, and been in the trade for many many years, so, please DONT take offence at this, but if you have a transmission problem, go to a transmission specialist .
If you need to replace a rod, generally you have a bearing problem that requires crankshaft removal/replacement as well. If you have a bad wrist-pin on the small end of the rod or the rod bent from hydro-lock and bearings are good, you need to remove the oil pan and the cylinder head as the piston/rod assembly comes out from the top. If you have a spun bearing or broken rod, the entire engine needs to be removed, completely torn down and all passages flushed...far easier to replace engine with a good used one. To do either, you will need a manual to guide you through the process (far too long to write out here) Sorry I need to tell you this but that's just the way it is...better you know before even attempting to do the job.
If the timing was off, from my experiance, it would cause the valve to go down threw the piston. The rod more than likely was on its last leg before the repair. Because the timing actually keeps the crank shaft (that turns the rods/pistons up and down) and the cam shaft (makes the valves go up and down) in sequence. So if the timing were off then the valves would be down when the piston were up. This could cause the rod to break but usually it either cause the valve to punch a whole threw the piston or the piston to bend the valve. Either case is very bad but so is a broken rod.
