So here is what happened to my V6. Last November I was driving home from work and swung by my buddies to pick up my new M&P. Left his place and headed home. Got to Grand River in Howell and had a really bad rattling/knocking noise coming from the front of my Camaro. Pulled through the light and with the pedal all the way to the floor I barely had any acceleration, just as I got through the light my engine shut off and looked down at the gauges and had no oil pressure. Got it to coast down the hill and into a parking lot where I had it towed back to my garage where it has sat on stands since.
I have talked to a few people and have gotten a lot of different ideas. Wondering if this has happened to anyone before or if you know what it might be.
Here is what I have heard:
- Spun crank bearing
- Clogged oil pump,
- Broken Timing Chain
- Broken Con Rod
There is no hole in the engine where I would of lose oil. I drained it and didnt find any particles in the oil. I propped the passenger valve cover up to see the springs and tried to turn the crank with a breaker bar and it wouldnt budge.
Any thoughts?
