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.

it was nothing you did. it was a factory imperfection. sounds like a rod let go.

Sorry for the trouble but it's not a good idea to drive a car that's making noises from anywhere, especially the motor. The repair cost is much lower if it keeps all the parts in the crankcase.

I agree...I dont think the engine was getting properly lubricated with that heavy oil.
