horrible cluncking in the block, with sound clips Options

[nightryder]

I drove from my house, 10 min highway drive, pulled into stop and shop, turned the car off. Came out about 15 min later, I started my car and heard this absolutely horrendous grinding, sounds like it is coming from the block...

if there is a better way to put this file on, let me know, I need someone to listen to this to help me figure out what it could be.



I'm thinking...crankshaft?



...ideas?

[Bitter]

you're not firing on all 4 cylinders, low on oil? you probably have totally lost a cylinder and screwed your block and crank. go get a new engine.

[nightryder]

I have no cel and full oil. No other warning signs either (temp, ect..)



if the oil pump was bad, would it throw a cel?

[Bitter]

no, but the oil pressure idiot light should have come on.

[nightryder]

naw it didnt. I just wanna make sure i know exactly whats wrong and most importantly what caused it. any ideas are helpful!

[nightryder]

ok so i think i might have figured it out...



when i swapped the engine last time i was so adimant about making sure that i swapped the federal emissions engine that i had into the car that was originally california emissions, that i put everything i thought I needed from my old engine into the new one.(distributor,ecu,map,ignitor....)


One of those things was my oil pump, if that was blown, my pressure in my engine would have been an issue causing to blow...again.


Is there any way to test the oil pump?

NOOOOOO
you used the old pump outta the blown motor??????
damn nate, i wish you had told me that before.

:::EDIT::: just listened to the clip.
that sounds AWESOME!


NOT.
sounds like something is broke in there, weather it be bad bearings, (rod knock) or whatever, looks like engine #2 is toast, man.
i would drain some of the oil, and look for metal shavings in it.
or, pull the oil filter, and cut it open with a pipe cutter (so you dont just create more shavings and confuse yourself cutting it with a sawzall or somthing...lol)

[nightryder]

sounds freakin sweet aye!?



i already drained the oil completly, no metal at all. I think i might have had a bad headgasket tho, it was a little sudzy...



regardless, im pretty sure im in the market for a new engine
