well i kinda had a little post about this in the hangout, but im gunna post my questions here. OK, to make a long story short, on a ride home my oil filter came loose, lost all oil, stuck it in neutral and tried to get home cuz i was soooo close, well finally i was about 100 yards from my parking spot, she just shut off. I think it siezed, but not for sure. She still cranks but it definately doesn't sound right. Its hot as hell outside so i haven't done too much looking around, but here's what i can tell you, when i crank it, it cranks over REALLY easy, like way to smooth and easy, in a way almost feels like pistons aren't moving. But the crank pulley spins, all the like alternator and power steering pulleys and all those pulleys still spin when i turn the key. The cam gears where the timing belt is, those do not spin, they just kinda click and don't move, just kinda go tick tick tick. Anyone have any clues. I mean im pretty sure the engine is gunna have some major issues, but just trying to figure out exactly what is bad, because its like the crank pulley turns and all the other belts do too, but the cams dont, kinda confusing to me. well anyway thanx for reading, im having the best weekend ever so far...NOT
