if it is worst case scenario and someone knows a good mechanic on long island, nassau county near 11580 .... please let me know. i worked so hard and saved for this car with little money left over. someone who is reputable, and doesnt sell things you dont need.

 

Contact Billman250 on here. But if you do bust stuff up from over revving it and you are continuing to drive it your definitely going to need an entire new engine if you don't already.
Tons of people have blown engines that way.

 

I'll PM him, just wondeing Though.. If it's a rod, would there be a light or sumthing?

 

Usually Rod Knock is accompanied by a Check Engine...

 

im taking it and dropping it off at CamberToe in Lynbrook NY tomorrow... for those interested ill keep updating.

 

Did you ever make that video? I wouldn't start it up again at this point, but if you already have it, I'm curious to hear it.

Sorry about the engine

 

Few days ago in my GTO I downshifted next to some construction and I heard what I thought was a jackhammer. As I got about a mile away it was still sounding like it was right next to me. Pullled over and realized it was from my engine. Drove about 1 mile home and was looking all over. As I revved it up the sound got louder and faster with RPM's. But soon noticed a chunk of my header gasket missing. So even tho it can sound terrible it could be something easy. Keep positive, hope it works out for you.

 

No video yet but when I drop it off, I have to start it so I'll try to makeone there.

 

hey i didnt see the post before ... sorry to hear that crap happend to your GTO, glad its easy for ya there awesome vehicles!. ya im keeping my head high ... and just thinkin how bad my CreditCards gona yell at me after this .... haha

 

if you overreved your engine it might have suffered from a few bent valves. if this is the case and your valves did get bent badly, your car should be running like shit. not only that but you also probably have cracked retainers which you might as well upgrade to AP2 retainers since the Ap1's came out weak. if you have any mechanical experience i would suggest you remove the cylinder head, your problem could be there. however, without a video i'm just making assumptions based on my experience. a loud knocking noise could also be a spun bearing...

keep us updated. gl!
