It matters what the noise sounds like and where it is coming from. A bad engine will usually make a knocking sound (internal). That usually indicates a bad rod, cam, or main bearing.

ok one mechanic told me it was a bad rod and another told me it was the engine sayin if i drove the car the rods would bust if i drove the car!! but the noise is coming from the top where the rods are so i believe the first mechanic

so if its a bad rod can i just buy the rods or do i need to replace the whole engine???

If it is a rod bearing, they can be replaced. However, chances are the crankshaft will need replaced or machined.
