No evidence of an explosion or smoke or smells or ANYTHING...weird. So he fills it with 5.5 quarts, and starts it back up. Still making a nasty racket, but after conferring with some people he talked to...he decided his best chance was to try to baby it as close to home (VA Beach) as possible. If he stopped quick enough, maybe the fresh oil saved it, and if NOT...well, the damage was done better run it till it drops so he can be closer to home.

The latter was true. He got to NN, right before the tunnel when the engine finally started to rumble/knock/shake/you name it. It's probably 5 revolutions from throwing a rod/siezing up completely now.

So here's why he wanted this posted:
1) Possible causes?
2) Possible solutions (it really sounds like the knocking is in the top end of the motor...the frequency of the knock sounds more valvetrain than anything....but as loud as a rod or something)
3)If a re-build is in order...what is a cheap torque-power build for reliable high-mileage daily driven car? By "cheap" I mean around $1k more than a stock replacement rebuild would already be anyway.

Comment away mullet-people.

when the same thing happened to my car, we added oil, then it started missing and whaddya know...#1&2 cylinders not sealing...bye bye rings.

and with that amount of oil and beating on it, thats a good way to spin some rod bearings, which is where id put my money
