Well, the car took a 4 hour road trip to Nevada and within the last 20 minutes of the drive, the (chain started slapping?) (Oil pump went?) (spun a bearing?).
And when the car is idling the oil light flashes and the knock or slap is REALLY loud. But when its revv'd up it mellows and the oil light turns off.
[FONT=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Needed to drive it back in cali to get towed but the engine seized before crossing state lines. Oil is dirty but it does get its 4 to 5 thousand mile oil changes.
Possibly blocked oil passage? [/FONT]
This is all speculation until the car can make it home. Any other ideas?
