i just hit my oil pan because my car is too low and 2mins later the car stoped running , all my oil was all over the ground

well a mecanic put new oil pan and filled with oil now the car just goe's "CLUCK CLUCK" The mecanic claims .

Can any one help me with this im in south florida , i want to take it somewhere that works on trans am.,? is there a maybe sensor or something that i broke doeing this , also i was wondering when the car lost all oil did it shut down from a sensor or did my car get locked ! cause no oil remember i only drove it for 2 mins! after hit and tryed to start it couple times maybe 3.

 

why did you keep driving after you busted the oil pan? You could have done all kinds of damage running with no oil pressure...

 

You need to go listen to it but just a couple seconds with no OP means bearings are toast........ Look at the bight side.... this is an opportunity

 

haha I like the way you think... damn why wont mine blow.... oh wait I dont have any money, nvm. (quickly knocks on wood)

 

ok the mecanic got it started but now the car is running with loss of power!!

used to be 320hp feels like 200hp.?

I dont understand. did i do internal issues the car only ran for maybe 2-3 with oil leaking out of it.

I did not know i hit the pan when i was driving ,

 

bummer. good luck

 

Thats a long time without oil... Potentially. How big is the hole in the pan?

Unfortunately, I can't imagine serious damage didn't occur. Is there any engine noise?

 

stinks man BUMP for good luck

 

what did you hit it on? i have bottomed out, but when it happens, my subframe connectors or (stock) k-member contact the pavement.
was it a rock or something?

i had a 4banger mitsubishi i used to beat on. took that thing offroad more than once and one time i had a rock put a fat dent in my oil pan. it barely survived.

good luck with it. you should check the regional section - maybe someone in your area could take a quick look at it and give some advice/referrals.

 

Starving bearings of oil for even a second can hurt them. Time for a re-build.

 

i agree...two minutes of driving and several times trying to restart.

 

Damn dude, I feel for you. Here's to good luck.

 

I assume you did this but look for "corvette" performance shops in your area, since it has the same exact engine. I also agree that running for a couple minutes is gonna do damage, if theres little oil left.

 

It's not making any noise when it's running now? As everybody else has said I suspect you did some major damage internally to your motor. 2 minutes is a long time for an engine to run with no oil.

 

wel i drove the car today and there is no motor noise ?

and everytime i accelerate the oil pressure drops instead of rising?

Also the car has major lack of power still .

How much is rebuild on this car , i dont even know where to go to get a good mecanic. No one likes to work on these cars becuase of there difficultness.

 

bring it to a LSx shop. Sponsors are located to the right ---->

 

put a 502 in that motha. That would be some **** to see.

 

that sucks man sorry to hear that.

 

OP drop on the the throttle is a sign of excessive bearing clearances and will often rise after the drop as rpm's increase.

Cheapest route is to buy a used longblock.

Look up Jeremy Formato in Coral Springs for quality work in Fla......
