HELP! Blown engine! What do I do now?! - Page 2

asbyo · 07-08-2007, 10:22 PM

Will find out this Saturday exactly what is wrong with it. I am going to take some time and tear into it a bit. I do have someone willing to sell me an entire longblock minus turbo that is in good running condition. This is a reputable source. What might one expect to pay for this? He asked me to make an offer.

Thanks

Adam

The car just quit while doing 70mph on the highway and a mechanic told you that you shattered a piston?

Check to see that your timing belt didn't snap. Easiest thing to do, take off the oil filler cap and watch the cam while a friend cranks the motor. If it doesn't move, the belt snapped.
