WTF Happened
So last night me and my g/f and my friend are all having a jolly old time cruising in my car at about 65. Then Service Engine Sonn light starts flashing and it feels like there is a misfire along with a loud knock. I'm thinking shit! So I say lets drive this to my house and we'll take the Grand am. About three miles from my house the feeling of the misfire is extremely apparent, I'm obviously running on only 5 cylinders, and this knock is loud enough to echo off of houses.
So I park the Car
I look at it today, start it and am right where I left off, loud knock 5 cylinders. The knock is coming from the upper motor on the backside.
NOW I have the problem figured out, But I'm bored and want to see if anyone here can guess what happened. I will say what was wrong at a later time.

WOW this thread turned out to be gayer then cum on a mustache. The thing that went wrong is the push rod shot through the rocker arm. It was the intake valve for cylinder #5
Sorry for the crappy cell phones pics

Wow, you are so smart to figure that out, considering all you had to do was read the message posted before yours!!    |
