4 full synthetic. New oil pan new oil filter. Removed spark plug lead valve 6 and piston 6 fuel injector lead. About to get a jump from triple A. Would pop start it but I don't know if I should in this condition.
Another pic of the pan cover off or bottom engine cover what ever it's called? Didn't put it back on cause it was reckt. Ordering a new one and piston today.

Also flushed 2 quarts thru it to try to grab any metal pieces
AAA thought it was a bad alternator(low power output). It was shaking very loud and the alarm wouldn't go off. Had it towed to my St and ordered the piston.
Does anyone think the Alternator has gone bad or is that from the missing piston(spark plug/ fuel injector lead)?

So you’ve been in the car for two days now? Do you keep a poop bucket in the truck?
new piston won't do anything if the block is trashed from the piston denting the bore or the con rod putting in gouges. Cams could have damage from all the bits flowing through the oil system. Did the filter have flakes in it? It's prob going to be easier to get a used engine if there is damage to the bore.
Futube for shits n giggles and ooy awa. The engine was nice the cars a piece of. I think the last owner was a hobo who moved a body. Got it from a hobbit. I'm not quite ready to part with hot betty.
Throw that entire engine away. The block is trash and if you ran oil to those heads, metal shavings are likely there. Tow the thing to a shop and find a junk yard engine.
Rounded head bolt 2. Ran a reverse star pattern on the bitch got the other 7 bolts 1/10 of a fuckn turn. Then up comes bolt number 1 wouldn't fuckn turn, so I turned 234 tighty(maybe I really didn't notice shit but I applied good pressure probably like 135ft pounds). then after some struggle I got bolt one 1/5 a turn. went back for 2 and no go. was able to crack the rest loose. Probably get a chisel out or a power drill with a drill bit. Ill probably tighten all the bolts back up before hand. It's a Chinese finger trap with the pressure.
Poor maintenance. The car had been sitting long. Wrong oil old oil non premium gas( I suspect ). I'll have a better idea once this heads off.
The lower grade fuel was most likely not a contributing factor; some folks here have over 100,000 miles on their 3G TLs with nothing but Regular grade gasoline.
I got 12pt replacements to tighten it back up. The 6pts had all started to warp and I didn't want to chance not being able to get them out. Special thanks to Harbor Freight for having the bolt out sockets that work. Some suggestions don't let your grip slip. sockets round quickly replace them all the time and try to get reinforced metal. I didn't know when starting this project these bolt heads aren't suppose to go in twice.

Rocker arm bolts can go in multiple times. Head studs are one time use.

If they're running regular, it's likely they won't make it to 200K. Those clowns who think they're being smart running Regular thinking they're outsmarting the car's computer are bucking for shorter engine life. In 342K miles, only once did the dumb ass attendant put in regular after I told him V-Power3 times. That's the problem here in NJ, STILL the only state that requires attendants to pump your gas. .

Reason: EDIT: OREGON, too?
Not sure whats wrong now. I had removed fuel pump fuse and the fuel relay. When I push on the gas it isn't feeding. Won't hold an idle and sounds awful. the fuel rail is kind of loose. The front knock sensor broke. I haven't added coolant yet. And I also forgot piston rod bearings on piston 6. Also the front fuel line to fuel rail connector is missing the green fast clip but is fully pressed on. Help!
