Stratford,
I am looking at a 100% stock 90 Eagle Talon with a 6 bolt that I can get pretty cheap. The only problem is that it lost all of its oil while driving down the city street. The guy says that it leaked from the oil presser sensor. The engine stalled after all of the oil leaked and he was stuck in the middle of the road. He doesn't have the time to fix the car and has some done up honda that he is going to drive. Would it be possible to rebuild this engine to hold some power or could this even just be from the guy driving the car too hard and the oil dip stick popping out?

A car won't dump all it's oil thru the dipstick tube.

Depending on how long/hard it was run without proper lubrication, it may have scoring on
the Cyl walls, bearing /journal damage. Regardless, I'm sure it's rebuildable, just until you survey that damage, won't know how much damage was done (if any) :dsm:
