I think I broke it.

[matchtheclown]

Hello! I need you. Yes you.

Check out this video and remote assess how badly I have broken my engine. I think it might just be lifters? Anyhow it's broken pretty good... and I need to fix it / get it fixed (need a quote)..

So maybe I did drive it round with low oil too long because im an idiot and idn't even check.. Prombl8 doesnt actually mean you never need to change your oil.. who would have thought.

Anyhow the result of a lack of oil and doing doughnuts for a 3 second spot in a friends joke hiphop video clip has results in some engine damage.

I can't help you with the noise, but I'm interested in seeing the video of the car doing donuts.

Please tell me you at least filled the oil before filming that?

Not an expert, but I Would say she has had it mate.

 

[chardo]

Would say that is not the lifters, maybe valves?

Post the video of the donuts, that would defiantly help with diagnosing the damage

I did fill it with oil. I'm looking at what engines are worth.

 

[naughtika]

its your big end bearing.. much similar to what happened with Donkay's engine..

oil starvation i think?

i'd say, buy a cheap oil, drop the old one..

see if there are any chunks of metal that comes out with the old oil

 

[fieldy107]

hmmm, yup, definitely will need to see the donuts video to diagnose this one. Its probably what Christian said though

 

[Donkay]

Exactly same as mine, except my sound never dissapeared

Spun bearing

Mine had lots of metal in sump

New motor

Hay christian , How or why would they starve them selves with oil?, does it mean the oil pump has shit itself?How would you tell that shes not getting oil before this bearing shits itself? or is it just one of those things?

Oil light comes on if pressure is low. On this case the car just didn't have its oil checked or topped up.

nothing to do with pump, I assume just from oil sludges prohibiting oil from getting through to the right areas..

look into this thread http://ozvr4.com/forums/showthread.php?11694-Need-your-opinions-please

Blocked pickup (crap in pan or sump bashed) or pickup allowing metal through, oil pump rotor failure due to manufacturing fault, blocked gallery, overheating and or knock beating the oil cushion out of the way. Few things can contribute to spun bearing.

i would suspect oil starvation through lack of oil in the pan to keep everything pressurized while oil was returning to the sump, .....

Or no oil lol. Sorry bud, def big end bearing. That is traumatic to listen too. Maybe check the oil every now and then

 

[VOLK]

Yeah the no oil thing kinda goes without saying. I hear they tend to like oil.

^ don't most imports? :-p

The oil light never showed... Such is the shame. Anyhow in the market for an engine swap... or want to buy a project car? :O
