Default Opps !! blowed something in my engine!!!??!

went to track yesterday , on the last run i hit the limiter very hard and engine started shaking like hell , I dont hear any ticking at all . However, tepmreture is normal , oil pressure is normal to , car doesnt smoke as well . the only thing is it shakes and SES light is on .


I think that I blowed a head gasket or if it worser than that I could probably burn a piston .


What do u think guys?!??!

Also may be a broken valve spring or bent/broken pushrod.

You dont have a blown head gasket if the temperature is fine.Pull the valve covers and check the rockers,pushrods and springs to start.But if you have good oil pressure its prolli not that,BUT the pushrods could be bent just enough so its causing a problem.Check your plugs and pulleys as well.

It seems unlikely that it would be an internal problem if there's no ticking. I thought there was a ticking sound that would come from a bent PR? The first thing I thought of was the engine mounts if the engine is shaking really bad. I would think the mounts would be pretty hard to break though. Just tear into it and take a look see.

Could be one or more bent valves. You may have floated, kissed a piston, and now aren't getting a good valve seal, causing poor to no compression in 1 or more cylinders. You should do a leakdown test to see if that is the problem.

check your plugs and wires since thats easy enough. Might have killed an electrode on one of your plugs.

Check the fuse that goes to your MAF (20a ENG SEN). If it blows, your car will run like you're saying.
