What just happened?

[king_ahmet]

Just tried to turn it without the belt on. Nothing. Only socket that fits it is a 19mm short. Fucker won't budge.

Looks like it not getting enough oil.

Cut the oil filter open.

Uh oh! Sorry to see this thread.

Good luck and keep us posted.

I'm no expert but damn everything looks bone dry in the pics you posted...hopefully you didn't seize the motor.

 

[OneQwkStang]

Yah where is the oil????

 

[skwerl]

Stock oil pan? I remember reading something about somebody using an aftermarket oil pan and the oil pickup was smack against the bottom of the pan, cutting off oil flow.

 

[king_ahmet]

Stock oil pan. Took these pics the day after the incident. So the oil might've drained back.

No that isn't true on the drain back theory. Weeks after the car has ran you should still have a film of oil on everything which you don't have. Just guessing I would say your oil pump gear has broke which is common with our cars. That's why every engine builder insists on the upgraded oil pump and billet gear. You factory oil pressure sensor is a on/off type sensor with no true oil pressure reading. Soo.... Good luck and keep us posted

pull the passenger side cam cover, then pull off a few cam caps (not ll of them or the cam will pop out)......look at the bearing......when i broke my oil pump that was the first things that got destroyed.....the cam cap was melted. and that was less than 5 seconds after the pump broke of it running.

There would still be oil residue, oil pooling in spots around the head that all the oil could not drain from. No oil pressure is the cause of all this.

^^^^I think everyone is right. Your engine literally looks bone dry. Here is what mine looks like, and last time I ran the engine was 1/20---so just over a month ago. You can clearly still see signs of oil. I don't see anything on the pictures you posted.

If you did loose the oil pump and have 0 oil pressure you should have seen the red light on the dash along with an audible beep noise. Anyway its not looking good.

 

[king_ahmet]

I didn't see or hear anything. And the car wasn't even running that long. Literally when I start it in the video until it died. But, it makes sense. Especially if I had just turned it off after it ran for a bit. It should be loaded with oil huh?

 

[one eyed willy]

How long did it sit for the winter?

Not necessarily loaded, but it should have a noticeable film of oil all over, especially on the cams. They should not be dry like that. After having my blown engine sitting for two months with the oil drained out of it the cams still had oil on them.

 

[hightechrdn]

Have you checked the oil level in the pan? Is there a film of oil on the cam and valve train by touch? How long was the car sitting since it was lasted started and what work has been done recently?

With the belt off and the plugs out, will the starter turn the motor over? If the starter won't turn the motor over and the transmission is definitely out of gear, there arent many options left other than the engine being locked up.

Keep us posted.

Sub'd...

Best of luck brother!

 

[king_ahmet]

Maybe you can't tell from the pics, but there was oil on the cams. When I saw that they were kind of discolored I dragged my nail across them and there was a film of oil on there. I'll see if the starter will turn it over with the plugs and the belt off.

Pull your fuel pump fuse too.

 

[king_ahmet]

^ Haha. Makes sense...

 

[BruceH]

Can you move the car with it in neutral? What I'm getting at is maybe the flywheel or pressure plate fasteners backed out and locked up the rotating assembly.
