You already had a knock, just because it disappeared (VERY briefly) before this happened doesn't rule out mechanical failure due to wear or the fact that (as you admit) you were running her WAY low on oil...

Suck it up man... it's quite likely you're the one at fault here.

I was prepared to suck it up the moment i got stuck.. Then i smelled the burning "SHITTY" pensoil.. Seen some dripping from the oil filter.. Some was on the flatbed truck too..

I didn't say that before because I wanted to have the tech tell me for sure before I got blasted.. Lol, too late for that..

Sorry man, but at this point I'm waiting for the mechanic to call me personally to tell me you didn't just throw a rod through the block or oil pan. :P

And BTW, Pennzoil makes two of the best full synthetic oils (that really are synthetic) that you can run.

Any way about it, I hope the engine isn't trashed... Be a shame to lose another 7M, as they'll be getting scarce soon.

You think that JIFFY LUBE uses the good stuff.. naa, they gave me the shitty pennzoil. Lol, well if he calls you first then I know it was you 2 that set me up! DAMN YOU BOTH!

Naa, don't think I threw a rod. It shut down when I was turning at maybe 1k rpm. No loud noises, just.. !!!!!LOCK DOWN!!!!!

I was looking around and figured that I could get the parts on DriftMotion for my rebuild. It will run me about $643?

7M Engine Gasket Set $99.00
NPR 7M-GE Piston Set $120.00
Freeze plug set $30.00
7m Clevite77 Bearing Set $125.00
7M Timing Belt $34.00
7M-GTE Turbo Oil Pump $235.00
$643.00


That's all I need for a basic rebuild?

Machine work... If it seized it's going to need to be machined, if not replaced.

Don't forget all new seals. Might as well replace the timing belt pulley before it comes apart or get the walls tack welded to ensure they don't come off. Replace the valve stem seals while the head's off. Get the head dye and vacuum tested. Make sure NOTHING is warped. You'll need to have the block inspected to make sure the cylinders aren't out of round. The crank is most likely going to need reworked and you'll need a different size bearing. If I think of anything else I'll post it. You'll know more once you get it apart though.
