    Sounds like a thrown rod to me

    Replaced daughters leaking cam seal last week. Noticed PO had attempted to use silicone on the seal. I was worried but the newseal, although I was able to install it with mu thumbs, looked to be holding.

    Daughter kept an eye on the oil until a day ago. Then, today, the oil light came on and she heard a knocking. Took approx three quarts to fill, oil was pouring out the seal, and now it sounds like this even with oil.

        There are 5 festies in a JY where I live. All vary from an auto to a 5 speed. I'm sure one of the engines in one of them are good and some have low miles on them I'm sure.
        I'll check for price and mileage when I'm out there again.
        I know one is missing the head on the engine.
        1993 Ford Festiva L blue 170,000 miles
        1990 Ford Festiva L Plus white 190,000 Auto, currently waiting to have another engine put in.
        1995 Ford F150 XLT black 203,000 miles
        2002 Honda CRV silver 180,000 miles
        2003 Toyota Rav4 Sport black 94,000 miles
        2008 Sym Rv250 dark grey 30,000 miles. My scooter.
        1989 Ford Festiva LX black 233,000 miles. Sold to my better half's son.

          Thanks Mike! Right now, time is of the essence, I may try something a little crazy, like throw another crank and bearings in it and roll. I dunno yet. All the other bearings are inside service limits as is, and the endplay is as well.

              New theory about daughters car. This is the oil pump seal. Instead of losing oil and killing the crank, looks like the bearing wiped, and then it took out the seal, causing the major oil loss.

                Daughters clutch was almost worn out, rear main seal had just started leaking. Already purchased a new seal, and Steve (stretch) gave me a new clutch last Madness, thanks broseph!
