well I think I killed my SC yesterday, car has been running good up until yesterday morning, other than tranny slipping and oil leak at the valve cover. I was driving to take my Fiance to work when out of nowhere the car stalled,it took a minute or two to get it started back up again.Then as I was driving it started rattling and smoking under the hood,I got her to her job when it stalled again.So I coasted into a parking spot and popped the hood.smoke everywhere <it was comin out the vents when it stalled> so i'm thinkin' oil, so i pop the oil fill cap off and it's smokin out of there,look at the dipstick pull it and its smokin out of there. I then started the car back up to see if I could see a oil leak or something,but nothing just smoking again.I noticed it was smoking out the tailpipes so I walked to the back of the car put my hand on the end of the tailpipe and get a nice tailpipe outline of oil on my hand. I checked the oil and it was low so I filled it up and drove it home cuz i don't have AAA and I figured I'd check it out more when I got home,but my cranky baby daughter had a different idea,so I wasn't able to look at the car.my fiance called me later on that day cuz she couldn't get a ride home so I pushed the limits a lil too much and tried to drive the SC there. well it was goin good until like 4-5 min. into the drive, it started rattling ,losing power, smoking. I end up making it to her job <only like 3-4 miles from my house>let it rest for about 35 min. checked the oil , it was good, coolant level-good, so I tried to make it home one more time,Didn't happen the car now sit in a bank parking lot until I get it towed to my fathers house to rip the engine and tranny out of it and swap in the engine and tranny out of my 90 SC. I'm thinking my spark plugs are fouled out, or the new heads I got about a month and half ago dropped the valve guide seals,or the rings are shot. not sure? what do you guys think?
