Blew My Motor Yesterday
Well I finally blew my motor. 
I was on my way to work yesterday crusing I 25 and this car started ridding my *** so I decided to downshift to 4th and get away. At 4500 My gauge read 12PSI instead of my normal 8!!! My car started pulling hard then BOOOOOM!!!!! I look in my rear view miror and see chunks of metal flying in the air and an oil trail behind me, that when the car started to fill w/ smoke and my oil light turned on. I shift into neutral, step on the brake, and steer off to the sholder. I sat in the car for a while in dissbelief. I went ahead and popped the hood but saw nothing wrong from the top. I look under the car and see 2 holes about the size of golf ***** in the oil pan under my #4 cylinder. I towed my car home but havent had time to lift it yet. I guessing the rod or part of it shot through the pan. Ill have some pics up soon.
