i have my supercharger out for service and ported the oil feed into the oil return. the hose i used broke and dumped most of the mobile 1 i had in it on the highway. i heard some tapping and putted over at a gas station. fixed that conection and but 4 1/2 quarts in. i hoped the tape would go away it but hasn't. o yeah and the oil light only flashed once right before pulling into the station.

so the car ran for maybe 3 miles with 1 quart of oil.

my question is what should i check for?

i tested compression, and rocker clearance and all were within spec. and have 100 miles on it sense then

i saw a bunch of post on low oil, and read a bunch but it was non specific on what actually failed in the motor. any help or suggestions would be great. or links if you know of any.
id rather not pay a dealer 70$ an hour just because i don't know where to look.

thanks

Do you have a video of the sound... That would help someone diagnose maybe.

i think you have problems in the block.

compression wouldn't necessarily indicate...

Your rod bearings are probably toast.

Hearing a tapping sound is not good, especially considering what happened with your oil. It may be bearings in the connecting rod or the mains. Have someone knowledgeable listen to the sound to get an idea of what the problem may be, but the only way to know for certain is to tear down your engine.
