So Cal LA area, 2001S for sale, engine has issues

[Lapister]

What area bearing do you think it is? Any more info you can share about the mechanicals? Rod knock?

[Dave2001S]

I don't know which bearings or what exactly the issue might be. There is a knock or rattle at start up, which goes away within a couple of seconds as the car idles. The oil light comes on after a few minutes of idling too. The oil light goes away at RPM's over about 1000. Other than that, the car idles fine and smooth.
