A number of things could have happened, but it sounds like a blown/shot piston. Shut that bitch down and don't try starting it till you tear it apart unless you want a piston melted to the side of the block or something similiar. Don't forget to tell your friend thanks for blowing your motor....

How low was the oil? If it was low enough, engine could have died of oil starvation...

Let you buddy know that your engine was destroyed in his hands and after that you have to make the call on weather or not he's going to get you a new motor or if your going to bite the bullet.

Your buddy should be responsible for the fix regardless because they were not being a responsible driver.

A number of things can happen, but it looks like a piston blow / injection. Shut that bitch down and try not to start until you tear unless you want a melted piston on the side of the block or something similar. Do not forget to tell your friend, thanks for blowing up your engine ..

Umm? Did you quote the 16 year old dude? Word for word...almost?:mepoke:

I'd say most likely he spun one or more rod bearings. Sr's like doing that, so if the oil was low that probably exacerbated the problem even more. Why did you loan him the car? Clearly you had something else to drive, so why give him the 240 with an engine swap? Did you tell him to check the oil every few days, and was he familiar enough with cars in general to spot a small issue before it turned into a bigger problem? If not, then it's hard to say what to do. If so, then he should man up and pay for the damages.

yeah found out it was a spun bearing.... ya i loan it to him being that good friend and this is how he repaid me... its ok though cause i ended up buy a s14 with a rb swap. so know im just going to end up parting it out and try to make some extra cash.
