Turbo Desirous
1989 Ford in my sig, checked oil a couple days ago, put a little over 200 highway non-towing miles on it. Today Mom ran it into town, complained about a knocking noise whenever she would step on the gas. Visual inspection revealed nothing wrong with any moving parts, no codes set for engine misfire.
Checked engine oil, lost 1-2 qts in those few hundred miles, not by leaking either! There are absolutely no leaks in the system, it didn't blow any blue smoke, but then again it's got a cat, that stinks terrible today... on the tip of my dipstick were shiny metal shavings!!!
Seems the bearings shot, but what in the world would cause it to eat THAT MUCH OIL with no physical leaks??? Coolant has some oil in it, how much I have no clue...
Help!
I need to be able to tow with this truck, but DONT want to blow a bearing!
