Their going to have to pull the engine and practically rebuild the bottom end.
That is if it turned out to be that.
If they where concerned with a big tow bill their about to eat the farm ! Probably going to cost them half of what you bought it for !
Look up rod knock on you tube you'll see lots of different examples.
Their was a time you could put load on the engine and hold the brakes and I forgot if the knock is supposed to get quieter or louder to confirm but I'd give it a shot. Lots of info on YouTube for rod knock. I'd suggest looking on how to diagnose if it is.

Been all over the forums and Youtube for past two days. Pretty sure its rod knock along with something else. May have bent a couple of valves or worse.
Right now i'm wondering what they will wanna do? I paid $28K for it and i'm sure they only have $22-23K at best in it. After searching rebuild costs, i doubt they will wanna go that route(probably 10-15K?). That would leave maybe a used motor? They are not cheap either and from what i'm seeing(finding lots of the 400hp N63's but none of the 440hp(not sure what its called) motors) it will be probably $10-15K installed?. Would the dealer actually go that route and then have to worry about another 70-80 days of coverage? Or will they just say "hey, how about we put you in another vehicle"? Or "how about we give you your trade-in back and shake hands and part friends"? I've never dealt with any type of warranty work on a used vehicle.
