You'd probably get more help on ls1tech for something like this. Good luck though - that doesn't sound pleasant.

Thread isn't 3rdgen related -

This normally would lead to a closed thread, but being in the LS swap section, it might lead to something useful for an LS swapper later, so I'll leave it open for now just to see where it goes...

Sounds like a spun bearing or three, maybe even a thrown rod.

So who had acess to your keys and your car while you were gone?

That sounds bad. It certainly sounds like a spun bearing, which doesnt happen just sitting there. Did it have oil in it?

Kind of hard to diagnose that from the video though...could be a number of things.

That definitely does not sound good at all. Did you check your oil pressure when you started it? Im thinking above comments who had your keys whilst you were gone? Those kinds of sounds dont magically appear for no reason

Found out that my piston rings are blow so that's not god

How did you determine that? Did you pull it apart? Or did you do this via a compression test. If you just did a compression test, and found some dead cylinders, that could mean other issues as well. A leakdown test would be good if you havent already done one.

I am baffled as to how it went from a running car, to what you have now when all it did was sit for a week... Did the car have issues before?

This just doesnt add up...

Yea it had some issues before. The owner before me used to race it and had Nos I pulled her apart today and had no piston rings at all dropped my oil pan and the bearinging were broken off sitting in my oil pan honest it dumb founds me that this had happened by not sitting I'm still looking into that issue but looks like I need a new engine

P.s the reason this is in the ls1 swap is because I had bout this car for 3000 bucks off a fluffy kitten and I was using it as a daily driver while I'm redoing my 1986 body and frame getting her ready to swap over the engine and trans
