Default Bye bye motor

I was going to Quaker steak last night and I feel the car hesitate for a sec and
all this black smoke starting coming out... Get to a red light and hear this knocking noise... I pulled over and got a couple people to look at it... "I think it a rod bearing...

I will give you more on the new motor as it is coming along...
TO BE CONTINUED!!!!!
Anybody want a Mugen intake?
Bobby...

yeah saturns are the same way, number one reason for engines blowing is people dont check their oil...

also did u say u were taking it to get the oil changed?

i drive a pos and i would never take it anywhere!!! not even the dealer to have the oil changed. sometimes they don't change the filter, and then the either over fill or underfill it with oil. i say not even the dealership cuz i had a freind buy a new 300 took it to the chrysler dealership for his first "free" oil change... then he did the next one himself, broke the seal on the original filter!

it costs less to do it urself, its easy and builds confidence, and u know its being done right and with quality parts.
