From doctors, lawyers, tech support, contractors, tutors, auto and boat mechanics, appliance technicians, veterinarians, accountants, appraisers, psychologists, engineers, heavy machinery masters, dream interpreters, and more, we've got you covered, 24/7. My name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I will be able to assist you. I’m sorry that you’re having trouble with your vehicle. Don’t worry though, we’ll be able to figure this out. Thank you for taking the time to let us help you out with this problem and hopefully we can sort it out quickly. Please understand that I do not know your knowledge or capabilities so I may need to ask questions to find out basic information to help solve your specific problem. Sometimes it may take a moment for me to respond because I may have to look up information about your concern. I appreciate your patience and will provide responses as soon as possible. It sounds like your connecting rod bearing have gone out and you are hearing the engine knocking. You'll need to use a stethoscope to listen to the engine and pinpoint the location. This will help us better understand where the noise is coming from. If the connecting rod bearings are bad then you will have to rebuild the engine. If it's overheating then you most likely have a blown head gasket. My goal is to give you the best service possible and to help you. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to let me know. If I’m not online at the time, I will respond ASAP when I get back.

Ok so my next step should be stethoscope? The engine noise started at the same time the oil leak started. When i turn the car on and look in the engine bay, i can see tiny drops of oil on the frame between engine and radiator. I cam drive it for a few blocks going about 10-15 mph and speeding up very slowly before it starts to smoke and i have to pull over and turn it off to avoid further embarrassment and of course damage as well. Please help. What would the ticket be to rebuild my engine? Can i do this myself? Also, is there another way of pinpointing the sound?

Yes. That will tell us where the noise is coming from. If the engine is smoking then it's likely catastrophic damage and you'll need an engine. This is a big ticket item. The labor would be around $2100. The engine can be anywhere from $1500 - $6000 depending on where you get it. If you get a used engine it would be cheaper. A new or rebuilt engine would be more expensive.

Hey my car won't start now what could be keeping it from starting? Last night my battery died and i tried jumping it 2 different times 2 different cars and nothing. I just got back to where i had to leave the car at with a brand new battery from autozone since warranty, and it is doing the same thing it did with the other battery. Wants to turn over at first but quickly looses power
