Ya dude I don't know what happened. I gave it a little gas and all my power was jobs and I heard a horrible metal on metal noise. I think my bottom end is gone. Which sucks because I just had the topend rebuilt. I babied it home so I'm ok but the car is KIA at the moment. Atleast until I can figure out what is going on. Atleast I got that prelude.

the thing that sucks most is that I just had the topend rebuilt because I fried my headgaskets. So now I'm thinking I'm gonna have to replace the block. That's another 2k or more

Neither it was running but all power was gone and I was hearing a pinging noise at all rpms unless I was at zero throttle.

Did the pinging get more as you stepped on the gas, or did it stay constant?

It stated constant. Only slowed down when I let off the gas completely.
