1) My push rod v8 in my truck ran out of oil one night and died. Even after I put oil in it it still knocked so we replaced the water pump and thermostat and changed the oil again the next day. The engine still knocked and I guess the whole two or so weeks I drove it must've been running on seven cylinders. then it died completly and I thought it locked up cause I poped the hood and it shot oil from what appeared to be the exaust manifold and coolant was all over the top.
2) One day I started it after holding the key it turned over, knocking loudly something put a hole in the oil pan. just two days ago we had to move in in our slopped driveway, I backed it in cause thats how I do it. we couldnt get it up the driveway so I said eff-it got in started it up tapping the gas till it ran if I let off it would die. I held the gas and brake put it in reverse and mashed the gas in which it never went past say about 1500 rpm and crawled up the driveway till the torqu converter locked up, it then i guess you could call it sped up. All of this was with it running for atleast almost 8 minutes. Okay five minutes.
1) could it have a bad oil pump? why would it have been running on seven? could it have blew a head/
2) what could have put that hole there, and aslong as it was WOT itd keep running, could it just be a fouled spark plug? The engine basically stayed just above idle even with the pedal mashed to the floor. since it still runs its probably not really major right?
The slow crawl is cause the tranny is messed up for some reason. This is my truck.
