Engine died

frags · Aug 16, 2009

My 97 4.6 decided to die on me, i had no indication of it going, it was running nicely, then 70 mph on the M40 oil light flashed on for a second loud ticking noise, i pulled over and she wouldnt start when RAC came out, Oil full, Water Full, no holes or spills! the garage reckon its siezed and needs a new engine. just before i turned it off the noise was intermittent. It didnt sound as loud as a big end, any ideas??

cam chain gone???

i would whip the rockers off and check everything moves as it should. also check the ring on the flywheel, inpection plate on bottom front of g/box

It did turn over before the battery died, the noise was different to big end noise(previous experience)! this sounded like it was from the top end. im just waiting to get it back up from the garage, then roll my sleeves up and get stuck in! it is def a love hate relationship with the P38!

cheers guys
