CA18DET help

[Okay]

I followed HeavyThrottle's instruction about crankin the car. I did it for 20seconds, 3-5 times, but the oil pressure light was still on. THen I realized the front of the car was jacked way up high while the rear was on the ground...stupid me. I lowered the car and cranked again and the oil pressure light went out. The whole time i was cranking the car there was a loud rubbing sound(metal on metal)...

I started the car and it idled around 1500rpm and the sound is still there. I don't want to make it worse so I turned the car off. NOw I took off all the belts except timing belt to find the source of the problem but the sound is still there. Now my car doesn't even start with differ battery; I even hoocked it up to a running car with a cable jumper. CLick on the link to hear the nerve wrecking sound I'm dealing with.

He should have also told you to remove the spark plugs and add about a ounce of oil to each cylinder, turn it over, then put the plugs back in.

Take it to Lethal Injection Tunning in Marietta, my boy has a 240 with a CA18DET that they installed, and they know what they are doing with that engine so i am sure they could help you out there number is 770-971-1142 ask for Derek or John.

[Okay]

...i'll have to tow it there. I did everything myself and it's kinda wierd to take it to a shop when I'm almost done with the engine. BTW, i fixed it already but I have a new problem. sigh.
