Sitting on side of road waiting for AAA.
Just replaced clutch, pressure plate, all new gaskets in tranny and transfer, set timing, checked oil and antifreeze.
Started right up. Drove about 2 1/2 miles and the engine started making this metallic ping.
Then started to lose power. Pushed in clutch and engine stalled.
Got it going again and turned around to head home. Power loss was worse then stalled at an intersection. Popped clutch to get it going and went another 500 feet and she's dead now.
Just turned key hoping starter would lurch me forward showing engine was rotating, but it won't. I hear and feel loud click of starter pushing against flywheel but absolutely no movement.
Do you think I welded my engine?
Can I dump oil into cylinders through spark plug openings and try to turn it over tomorrow?
What's the best thing to do to try and save it?
