just curious but did the engine give you any warning signs before going out?
Or was it running and sounding great up until that point?

thanks guys and yeah it had a slight tick for about a month i had been checking the oil about every day or two right before it broke the girlfriend was driving it and who knows what went on when it died. i got in it and the radio was pretty much all the way up soo i am guessing it got pretty loud before the motor stopped.
