Blew my motor
My stock 25k mile mach1 motor is all over the road 2 blocks from my house. oil and smoke came out from everywhere. I thought i had a head tick, brought it to my friends house. He said it was maybe a pulley or an accessory. Ended it being my bottom end. Cause on the way home it started to sound like a tin can being shaking around with rocks in it. then BOOM.

Re: Blew my motor
hmm. can you tell anything from visual inspection? any windows in the block? parts on the road? that pretty rare for a bottom end to just let go with those mods.

Re: Blew my motor
it was nothing you did. it was a factory imperfection. sounds like a rod let go.

Re: Blew my motor
I thought the same thing. That's why I posted the lube Q.

Re: Blew my motor
that 10w-30 oil wasnt helpin, its heavier than the required 5w-20, that might have caused it

Re: Blew my motor
I agree...I dont think the engine was getting properly lubricated with that heavy oil.
