Well I am sad to say another 3L bit the dust... This morning I was on my way to Woodward when it started knocking... 1/2 mile later (looking for a spot to pull over) the rod was toast and my car was dead. Less than 400 miles. I am just not sure what caused it. I am afraid to pull it and fix it cause what's to stop it from doing it again?
Same situation as what happened to my car. What is up with these engines? Something happening to them if they sit after running? Can't contemplate what that would be though. It seems the straight 3L's can't handle high RPM or something. Millions of ATX Taurus's running around w/o issue.
