raptor_69_311 Posted January 10, 2003 Report Share Posted January 10, 2003 my buddy has a '99 cavalier with the 2.2, anyways he changed his oil and drove it for a couple of days, and it started to knock, well he just left it alone and i went over to look at it, it stays runnin, with a semi loud knock and when it idles for awhile it smooths out, well i check the oil and the stick is covered with a sludge all they way to the top! and no oil! at all! i'm like WTF, i take some off with my finger and i can feel like pieces of metal, and the oil smells burnt! so i'm debating to take off the oil pan! any suggestions?

grease monkey Posted January 15, 2003 Report Share Posted January 15, 2003 i'll agree with marc, the motor is shot. if it's an ecotec motor it will probally be very expensive. hope it's still under warrenty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
