not hard to fix IF you know what you are doing. you will pay out the ass to have someone fix it. it would be cheaper to buy a new engine rather than fix it.

But it sounds like a nice bowl of rice.

But it sounds like a nice bowl of rice.yea ok so should i just put new pistons and rods in or just replace.and i have autotech at school so i can fix but should i pay 800 for it

yeah 800 is not bad, Id swap a DOHC motor in. but a good d16 complete wap would only run maybe 600. so a $1400 civic that is pre riced is not a bad deal. I think there are better deals out there. but that is just my opinion, good luck noob. (meant in a nice way)

no dont do it. I had the same problem with my d16. the bottom end is worthless except the block if not scared. if it knocks it means it was run to long with a bad bearing causing it to eat away at it all. so crank is bad and rod. and depending how long its been hittin the head maybe the piston. so mostly ur paying 800 for a shell and trans.
