Re: Bummed Out!
what i would do is to get socket and ratchet and put it on the pully/harmonic balancer and try to turn the engine to see if its seized if you cant turn it then you know its an internal
if you turn it a bit one way back and forward you might have something in the valve train maby a dropped valve.
and then i would remove the engine, drain the oil and take the heads off if there isnt anything wrong then its lower crank, con rods etc
if its lower then i would get a new engine it might be cheaper

Tonight mine pulled a few cars out of snowbanks, and is sitting in my driveway, icicles on the grille, wheels just white cakes of snow, buried up to the lug nuts in powder, straps and chains wrapped around the bumpers, the outline of the wipers clear in 4 inches of snow on the windshield... A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.
