[One Sweet Day]

What happened..?

x2!? everyone ok?

[mineralrob]

were cruising thru the tunnel then all of a sudden white smoke,lots of it. Kinda like a nascar wreck. Not sure what happened but oil everywhere. Maybe bottom end?? Dunno. wAited with him on the side of the parkway but i had to drive my friend home so i had to leave. A couple of other guys waited with him though till he got a tow.

[SonofaBish]

ahhhhh shit man! white smoke or blue smoke?? white smoke would be coolant, like a head gasket or something....

were you guys hammering it through the tunnel?

btw, i didn't get to introduce myself tonight, i'm sorry.... i was talking to all those different people and u guys just up and left out of nowhere... lol.... very sharp car though!

thanks and same to u. There was oil on my winshield so i dunno and i was 2 cars behind him. They looked under the car and there was alot of oil on the ground but i'm sure he will chime in and confirm what happenend. The car shut off in the middle of the tunnels and he coasted out to the shoulder. Wouldnt start after that.


Edit" Yea we going pretty good thru the tunnels

[95riosnake]

We were very much hammering it through the tunnel.

I got under the car and it was oil... alot of oil. Left a trail all the way to where he stopped. We waited around with him for about 45 mins and his dad was going to Washington to pick up a trailer and come get him.

Definitely bottom end, at the very least it was a piston/rod, but with the amount of oil, it may have poked a hole through the block, although I hope that isn't the case. We all felt really bad for him, I hope everything works out and he's able to get it back on the road soon.

:( whoa

[RUTHLESS]

Damn that sucks guys. I hope it is a cheap fix and not a engine rebuild. Post up some pics when you have a sec.

Oh and how dare you get oil on Rob's car.

I had something strange happen too. I was driving up 79 and this f'n UFO went flying past me at about light speed. Hell he might have hit ludicrous speed! After seeing this I might go back to being a GM guy. j/k

[Mitternacht]

I made it home. My dad instead used tow straps and pulled me home.

My sister's Thunderbird was totaled a little over a year ago, and she bought it back for parts. The motor in that car is a 4.6 OHC V-8 so maybe I can use the bottom end/block out of that.

I'm just trying not to think about it. But hopefully I can come up with a plan, sell some stuff, start living frugal. It was gonna happen sooner or later. I'm sorry again for the oil/antifreeze guys. I really am. I can tell you one thing; this is the last car I ever buy again thats already had performance shit done to it.

ASAP kills another Mustang.

[Troll]

Sorry to hear that Mitternacht. Was that the stock bottom end? Glad to see you got home and you're already 'thinking' about a plan.

[RUTHLESS]

I was kidding about the oil. I hope it all works out for you amd I am sure we will all keep any eye out for engine parts for you. If you need any help you know were to find us!

[Mitternacht]

Was that the stock bottom end?

That's one of the wonders of buying this car; I guess so since it sounds like I shredded it apart.

I don't think theres a rod through the block. I cranked the engine over once on the side of 376 and it spun, just wouldn't start. Sounds like I destroyed a piston or the crankshaft, and I still had methanol so I don't think it was detonation.

[PunisherStang]

well hey i think of it this way, god had a reason for your motor to blow, so you have the chance to build it up i mean its apart, you might as well save up and get it built the way you want when it could happen again down the road. just my 2 cents

im glad your alright, and sorry for your loss(stangs heart and soul)

[One Sweet Day]

sorry to hear, but glad your ok.;)

[95riosnake]

it's good to hear that you at least have a spare engine if you need it. Don't worry about the fluids on the other cars, no big deal, it washes off. Glad to hear you made it home with no problems. Whenever you figure out what parts you need, I'll be glad to keep an eye out on classifieds for you (I'm pretty much addicted to corral classifieds )

[MinGry03]

Sorry to hear about your car. Hope everything works out well.

Here are some pictures from the meet....

[PunisherStang]

damn 95riosnake what kinda process do you use to detail your car? its looks amazing. i did a clay bar for the first time today and it came out amazing but not like your car.

[2001GTTT]

dam man, sorry to hear that....if you need a hand gimme a holler, im just down the road.
