DRTYBOOST Member 363 Member For: 18y 2m 8d Gender: Male Location: Perth, WA Posted 24/09/08 11:17 AM Share Posted 24/09/08 11:17 AM I was driving home one night, and I decided to give it abit of stick in second gear, all off a sudden oil light comes on, and my oil gauge is reading 0 oil pressure? I turned the car straight off, there was no bang or anything when I gave it abit, luckly my mate lives just around the corner so I rolled it down the hill to get to his, ithe next day I got it towed back to mine, I turned it on to see if there was any unusual noise in the engine, I could hear abit of slapping going on, nothing to loud. Car is going in to get checked out soon.Car has 342rwkw atm and running 14 pound. It’s a Bf MKII ute with 30000 clicks on it so im gonna be very pissed off if its the bottom end.What are your opinions guys?

They usually go if its been reved too much, like lots of 6000rpm action.

Guest Guests Posted 24/09/08 02:48 PM Share Posted 24/09/08 02:48 PM Heard tonight after you called Rob mate... Not good at all :biglaugh:Hopefully you shut it off quick enough after the pump gears let go & you haven't damaged a rod or piston. Should get out of it fairly cheaply in comparison if that's the case Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/50079-have-i-done-my-bottom-end/#findComment-739715 Share on other sites More sharing options...
senna_T Forged Member Lifetime Members 15,818 Member For: 18y 3m 7d Gender: Male Location: SW Sydney Posted 24/09/08 10:27 PM Share Posted 24/09/08 10:27 PM Better be sure and get a built bottom end! If there is no oil in the engine the pistons will be making direct contact with the block and this could lead to a bent rod. Either way mate, you'll have to pull the motor down to see the full extent of the damage. Hope its not too bad for your sake Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/50079-have-i-done-my-bottom-end/#findComment-739769 Share on other sites More sharing options...
