On the way back from school today the car started to shake bad. It almost felt at first like a fouled plug. Then the oil pressure went from 42-50-42-50 back and forth. Then it started to tick really loud like a rod knock and smoke was coming out of the exhaust. So i parked it and walked home. What are some opinions on what happened.

Also who makes a good stroker rotating assembly. For nitrous. Thanks all the help is appreciated.

Sounds like you might have lost a lifter. I forsee a rebuild in your future. If your lookin for parts there are plenty of vendors on this site that have everything you need. Check with Jon@TSP.

oscillating oil pressure and knock, usualy spells rod bearing.

Pulled some plug wires and when we got to #3 there was no change in sound vibrations so we think it might have something to do with #3.

Well pulled the valve cover and found #5 intake pushrod like this.





Now i have to pull the heads to see more damage. Well i guess this means go big.
