HELP...Engine DOWN!!

[gsr-sam]

S.O.S. to all sifu's out there. My engine suddenly gave this very very loud sound ...similar to teppet sound but it is very very loud. Extremely loud. Has anyone experianced this before. I am in Ipoh and my regular mechanic is in KL. If possible I would like to drive my car down to KL to have it fixed but I'm not sure if it is advisable. I checked the oil level and its available. Could this be due to a failed oil pump? How to check? Pls help S.O.S.......

bro,
mind to share what car u driving.

It might be Rod knock - due to rod/main bearings scorched@worn out or might be your piston skirt broken causing Piston Slap...

Either way.. it's not advisable to drive hard or long distance. Your rods/piston may gave away anytime bro.

Thats what happened to my gsr last time.

Heya bro, open your oil pan, check for any free play at the conrod bearings, if the sound comes at a certain rpm, like a loud knocking, then it might be conrod bearings condem and free play at the conrod bearing

Cheers bro
