Compression Lockup @ 100km/h

[Grechie]

aii guys

scariest ИИИИin thing happen to me last nite, the scene is princess freeway, about 1:30am, near millers rd turn off, i go to gear down to 3rd from 5th, at 100 km/h, the basterd goes into 1st,(mind u that 5700rpm is 1st gears rev limiter at 60km/h) BANG compression lock, car kicks out sideways on the highway , correct it, hits the limter, motor screams off its tits, then motor turned off...n a mate next to me seen sparks thrown from underneith...

pulled over, another mate came back, from down the highway, said they even heard it like 15 car lengths cruising infront of me @ 100km/h, checked to see if there was ne holes in the block ,there woz none, tried turning motor over, starter motor made the most ИИИИed noise screachin n wot not, and the motor finally turns over n pretty much idles friggin lumpy, like on 4 pots, like 2 pistons were blown, limp her home, n car wont start no more, i thought it was seized...i could nearly cry, because it was over something real careless...

today, we got straight on it, 9am, we seen that the starter motor was unbolted n just hanging there!, n the map sensor hose was blown straight off, after fixing all that, motor started! OMFG!!!!!!

checked all leads, all pistons were firing, all gave a miss to the back wen a lead was taken off...took it for a drive, 2nd gear missed once then cleared up, n she drives fine, what a freakin friday night scare...., no cruising tonite for me, ill tag along if anyone cruises from here...id say, give her a rest, n a pat on the back, for surviving....
