So the problem started about a month ago.
I was on my way home from work on the freeway going about 75 mph when all of a suden my car turned off on me out of know were.iI managed to get to the side of the road,i tried turning the car on but i dint even get a crank.

I ended up towing my car to the house were i started to look for anything odd cuz i dint have no idea what could be wrong.

Well when i check the oil stick i had no dam oil on the motor when i just got done doing the oil change 2 weeks before
I also discoverd that the last spark plug on the far end on the pasanger side was completly smashed.My guess is it must of spun a rod bearing?

The only weired thing is that i added 5 corts of 10w40 sethetic blend oil and another spark plug to replace the smashed on And my car started right up no problem.It idles fine and runs ok a little rough only in between 45 to 55 mph.but ether then that it runs good on the freeway at 75 mph.

THE PROBLEM: If i rev it up passing 3k rmp i hear a little ticking noise coming out the pasager side?
If i rev it to higher then 3k rmp as soon as it idles down it starts mis firing alot! But i turn the car of and turn it on again it idles fine again


I am so confused and dont know what i ned to fix?
is it something to do with the heads or block?

ill try to post a video up soon help me out If you had this problem before or if you might know what the problem is...Thanks guys

he means your motor is on its last leg, its only a matter of time before the motor blows completely or knocks till the point that its undrivable. get a used motor try to get one out of an 03/04 gt because the bottom ends are stronger then the pre 02's or rip the block apart and toss in forged internals or someone is selling a teksid block buy it those things can handle over 1000hp with forged internals

---

There is no difference in the 03/04 GT bottom ends and the 02 and older versions. Cracked cap rods, Hypu pistons, etc...all the same. Only difference is between the Romeo/Windsor blocks, 6/8 bolt flywheels, and 11 or 13 valve cover bolts.

You have a rod knock, plain and simple. Pick up the used shortblock Drew from AED is/was selling, swap your parts...or buy a new/used motor and be done.

the thing is that my block is no longer ticking or knocking at all?it drives fine.
