Well I raced my buddies Mustang last night. I roasted him off the line but he caught me. We went longer than a 1/4 so I might have beaten him in the 1/4. But I payed the ultimate price for the fun I had. I ****in tore my **** up! I think I redlined it a little to much, I noticed she was taching pretty high so I backed off and brought her to a stop. No smoke, no leaks, definately no explosion, but she only stays running when I rev the engine and makes some kind of rattle. I'm having it towed to the shop later today.

You didn't leave it in "D" for the race? How high did you rev it?

Eightysixer

I did leave it in D. I revved it all the way the the redline.

Mine revved way too high in D when I was racing a corvette, although it didn't hurt my car any, maybe because of my forged internals?

you could very well of spun a bearing or two...
happened to me.

except for one lil difference, my engine shut off completely
and I pulled off to the road. ..popped the hood, no coolant bubbling ..everything looked norm


tryed starting it again and it didnt make a sound..
woundnt crank (hot starter solenoid probally)
so I left it at a Checker Auto store overnight
and came back the next morn.

the car did the exact same thing you described
above .. wouldnt idle, I manged to drive it home while
listening to that awful metal on metal sound.

it didnt sound like a knock .. but a tap on a metal surface.
I wouldnt get discouraged tho .. it could be numerous things
but, it wouldnt surprise me if you spun a main or
rod bearing .. happens most often while "lead-footing"



good luck

Thats what my dad and I believe. Sounds like a defitante possiblity. Mine isnt knocking either, it has the metal on metal rattle like yours did. I'm not to worried about it.

Check your rockers also, if they`re still the oem ones.
