Blown engine?

[wvav8tor]

Hey in less than 2 hours I have already warn out one ass kicking machine and I am looking for a loaner I wonder if an inspection would have caught something like this? As for the soft drink no thanks but I have started in on the Jack and figured the bottle was better used beating myself over the head with it than drinking out of it.

My neighbor had similar experience. She had a intermediate shaft failure, total engine gone.

Hopefully, you have not gone down that road.

Keep us posted.

No CEL, I would have towed it to the dealer and have them tell you what's wrong. There could be hope...

What makes you think it blew out all 9 quarts? Did the oil light come on?

I'm inclined to think that if you blew all the oil out of the engine that it would throw some pissed off idiot lights at you, and most often, blown motors don't continue to run without throwing idiot lights as well, but from what Jim said you may be in bad shape.

I'd get it to a good tech and let him figure out what is wrong before you call it a day.

Hopefully it isn't a major problem, but white smoke sounds like you are burning water/coolant, thus either a blown head gasket or cracked cylinder liner. A compression/leakdown test will tell you pretty quick. Echoing the sentiments of others, please stop running the car or you will guarantee the need for a new motor.

If the engine is done and you decide to sell it as is, let me know, I might be interested in it.
