| Post subject: | is my engine dead |
i have a 69 valiant.It 's a 170,it was running great.Good compression,great gas mileage.Then going down a hill i felt like i was losing power,the oil light came on.I pulled over the car was still running but making a bad bumping,knocking sound from down low.I had it towed.Oil was fine.It still starts,i pulled the valve cover,with it running i didn't see a lot of oil . did i spin a bearing? Should i pull the engine? is there anything i should check while the engine is still in the car and running? thanks for any help |

Oil lights and loud noises when oil level is normal usually indicate a dead engine. My guess is a spun bearing which usually announces itself with a groaning, scraping sound. |

It sure sounds like a spun bearing. Look around for a replacement engine, that way you can "switch" and keep the car together rather them having it sit around with the engine out. Dd |
