Bad Bowtie Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 (edited) Need MORE info. What were you doing when the engine 'locked up'? Racing someone, etc? Did you 'drive her like you stole her' all the time? The oil consuption was a bad sign...

Fireman31 Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Saying that an engine is locked up usually means the engine is seized or something has broken in the lower half.......in other words it cannot turn over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 1 quart of oil every 1000 miles!?! That's a lot of oil. Sounds like the trade-in idea just went out the window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
