Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

My car is making bad noises!!!!

Idk i'm just looking for ideas what i can do to the motor when i get it while its out. I found one motor at a local junkyard soo far, it has 135k for $610 idk thats too high of mileage or what.

The only other thing I can think of is possibly a rocker or lifter is lose or broken.

Just another idea. I would take off the valve covers and inspect them. Might get lucky there :)
 


i've seen that on a few engines other than the 3.8. those were from double gasketing. where the old seal gets stuck on the oil filter housing. a chance that happening here? just curious.
 
the double gasket is weak. oil pressure overcomes the rubber, as you saw it sticking out in the picture, and causes a very fast oil leak. sounds like he spun a bearing.
 
a bad bearing or a piston is hitting againt a valve or somethin, thats souns bad, need that fixed asap
