Craig blew his eninge today....., ... yeah what can i say Options

[urbandork]

Today after the socal mini meet i went up the 405 to meet up a few homies. With my g/f tired i decided to head home for some r&r. On the way home, traveling east on the 10, my engine when by by. I was only going like 65 and I was with in my boost limits but something gave. Engine changed noise and power droped.

I drove home from western exit to calstate la jsut going slow. Any applied power cause a knocking noise.

getting off the freeway it souned like it was running on either 2 or 3 cylinders. So probably blew a rod, colapsed a piston, or blew some rings. Either way im F****** up the butt now. Im just glad i was able to limp home.

So soon i might actually have my trubo set up for sale. Cus if i rebuild the 5s im not truboing it. And if i swamp for a red top im not guna need the trubo.

What do u guys think rebuild the 5s? If so what kind a pistons and connecting rods should i get. Compression wise and company wise, where can i find them. What else do i want

Should i do a BEAMS swamp? if so what tranny should i use?

Should i d a 3sgte?

im so sad i think im guna cry.

first, find out exactly WHAT broke. check your egt hose that runs from under the egr valve, make sure that hasnt popped off. if it does, it'll sound like a bad valve tick or somthing..lol
check your oil.
check your coolant level.
then,
exactly how much boost you been running, how many miles on the engine, how were your EGTS, oil pressure, ect.
what kinda filter relocation did you do? what kinda lines ect did you use (size ect)
feed and return line details also.
what kinda plugs (brand, pt#, and gap) pull them and take pics of each one.
get some pics of the engine bay.
what condition was the motor in when you started? compression & leak down test #s ?
::edit::
also, when was the last time you checked and or changed your oil before this happen?
