Crashed Car, Wondering if Engine is Good.

[ahheck09]

Hey guys, bumped into an impala's rear end and killed the engine, but I still can't tell whether the engine is shot or not. What happened was because my car is lowered quite a bit and the impalas rear end is quite high, it missed the bumper entirely and went straight through the grill into the aux fan. It pushed the aux. fan, the AC condenser, and the radiator into the normal fan. That killed the engine pretty quick but i couldnt tell if the engine was shot from this. It would make sense to me that if I get the fan out, it should be fine but im quite unsure. Heres some pics. If you can tell from these if its fine or not let me know and any ideas on how much fixing it would be would be great as well. But at this point if you guys could give me some ideas on how i could check whether the engine is good or not that would be great! thanks!

Did you loose oil or just coolant? If it was just coolant you should be able to start the car.

i believe 99% that your engine is not damaged by the accident.try to start the car but make sure the fan is away from the rad. and the engine mounts are still holding the engine.

remove the clutch fan and the mount for it. the fan isnt connected to the crank pulley so i dont see how it could have jammed up anything. it just looks like the mount ground into the ps pulley. attach a wrench to the crank pulley nut and give it a turn and see how it all rotates before starting the actual motor.
