Smells like the typical #3 crank bearing failure, engine died as I was getting my time slip after my 4th autox run, data shows it was pulling power during that run.
Sketchy ‘junkyard’ engines are $3-$4k, slightly less sketchy jdm engines are like $5-6k and my time is cheap right now because I quit my job.  |
I'm two months into a 2gr-fe rebuild. Timing cover is going back on tonight. Only way to be sure is to DIY. Good luck! Keep us posted.
