We are thinking of meeting around noonish in the parking lot, Minus one car of course.


Good news, I got my cable from Jim'* Slowrora, but.............I don't have my laptop with me so no access to my server.

I can try to gain access, so stay tuned.

We didn't really find out yet, just called CAA and got it towed the 4 hours home. We will figure it out on Sunday. It sounds like the bottom end.
The oil pressure was great, oil looked brand new, temp was great, colant level was bang on, just no warning, started knocking. We weren't far from a place we could stop since we first stopped on the side of the 400. We drove a few more minutes and by that time it started with the screeching. I figure by the time I get home on Sunday the engine will be seized, it just has that sound to it.

edit:We pretty much figured it was a bearing by the sound of it. We will have to figure out how bad it is. But if we have to change the engine we may do both engine and tranny since the engine would be getting pulled.
