Today my dad was driving my car and it just broke down out of nowhere. He was almost home and when getting off the exit he pushed in the clutch and the car died. So he started it back up, drove a few hundred yards and it died again when he pushed in the clutch.
The oil pressure was about 45psi and the temp was about 195 while driving. But when the car died the oil temp went to 250+. And it wouldnt start for about 20 minutes. When he called me to let me know it broke down, it sounded like the car was knocking badly.
So we get it towed home and crank it up. It started fine and there was no knock at all. There is a slight ticking noise that only happens at around 3000 rpms though. Also we took off the valve cover and there was bearing material on the camshaft. The valve train looks good other than that, and it idled fine once we got it towed home.
Im not really sure what to do or where to begin. What do you guys think?
