just went outside and wired my bypass open n finished pullin belt off n guess what blower wasnt the real problem (even though im sure it is still in need of rebuild)i just cant believe that the engine fell apart but if i was a guessin man it sure sounds like it.theres a major knock and then it squells (aint funny man i aint got another car yet)then it doesnt wanna idle, or run at all really.almost sounds like someones bangin on the exhaust pipe er somim,the knock definitly aint no bs,its got some bass to it.(not cool)the thing is it didnt have any major knock before,the knock that was obvious was comin from the blower,it had good oil pressure,n plenty of oil.now im lieing to say that it sounded like a champ whenever i gave it gas in neutral and let the engine freewheel it would have a little knock,but nothin like this thats fer sure.let me know what ya think,anything obvious i should look for n what-not.this all happened last friday knight on the way home after i did beat it a little.i know what the math ads up to just tell me somim different please.
