engine problem.. had to get it towed today
Alright so i'm driving down a highway just taking off from a redlight, not hard on it or anything at all in fact very easy on it beacuse my grandfather was with me... all of the sudden a huge power loss like the motor is struggling simply to stay on, i slip the clutch and just give it the slightest bit of gas to get me movin enough to clear the highway and immediately shut it off and coast into a nearby parking lot. the car was kinda shaky and making a horrible noise maybe like there is no oil in it or anything, something awkward and metal to metal sounding..
no oil spill underneath, oil is perfect level... nothing wrong from looking under the hood. latest mod is stage 1 COMP cams (262) about 600 miles ago with abs. no problem since then. in fact just moments before the car was running like a dream I even commented to my friend earlier today "damn it feels like its running better than ever". and now this.. what are the symptoms of a thrown rod? please dont tell me that .. =X im hoping its something to do with maybe a roller rocker or something? any advice appreciated and I guess i'll start tearing into it tomorrow morning. 4.6L v8 w/ 32,700 miles btw |

I remember you doing that cam swap. You didn't change the springs, so I'm wondering if you dropped a valve through one of your pistons.......

When I spun a bearing my car had been burning oil right before my next oil change but I never knew it so one night I got on and bam! It made this loud ticking noise that got lounder when I stepped on it but when it idled it was just a steady tick tick tick. It sucked ass
