Well, I just last week broke my 3L duratec in my taurus, right after I had the engine somewere between 6-65000 RPM, it developed a ticking in the higher rpm ranges, Then trying to get back home it went really sour. now taken from my topic right under this one
Quote: Alright I have managed to dameage either a rod or a lifter in my engine, we let it sit for 7 days before we got to look at it agian, and now it is covered with calcium deposits. All over the engine. Usually this signals that my water mixed with the oil, we cheacked the oil and it is fine... We can't figure out what caused this. Any ideas?
Sounds like I might have run into the same problem as you guys, in regaurds to the spun rod or lifters. I will look for sand and what not when I tear it down.
