Yes, it does have rod bearings and yes it would be expensive to fix. If that engine truly has a rod knock it will probably be in need of a complete overhaul. A 1997 vehicle probably is not worth doing a engine rebuild. However if the vehicle is in fair to good shape, having a good used engine installed would be the way to go. You can call your local auto wrecking yard for a price, it should be at least half of the cost of a rebuild.
