ok when you hear a tapping sound coming from your engine and your oil light is on, and its a fucking hot day, but you think you can make it home from work and then put in your car, think again, trust me i tried this today and the mechanic thinks it may be a bearing, to me sound like snapped conrod, well now theres about 3 different clunks so fuck knows...

Bearing aint so bad. This's what happens when you keep driving a starion under the same conditions!

Yeah its fine apart from one piston being at the bottom of its bore when it should be near the top and the rod smashed through the side of the block resting on the balance shaft!
