marc1985 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Hi I went for a drive today and my engine started to knock I think its bottom end. I then checked dip stick and no oil reading. How much damage do you think may be caused and is it expensive Quote Link to post Share on other sites
russ78 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 if you have no oil in your engine the engine will have far more damage than just the bottom end buddy do you mean you have an oil leak and let it run completely empty and now the engine is knocking ?

patman Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 This is going to get expensive, ouccccch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt1878 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Running an engine with no oil is as bad as it can get really. Other than throwing a rod through the block... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marc1985 Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 Topped oil up was just over a ltr to take it to full on dip stick and now there is nearly no noise now. Do u think get my crank reground with new shells Quote Link to post Share on other sites

marc1985 Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 My mechanic said he gonna take sump off and take out big end bearings to check crank if all OK will need a set of the big end bearings if any one has a set kicking around Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmymac101 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 You engine managment light should have come on if you were running with no oil ........... Might want to think about dropping a second hand engine will be far cheaper than parts and labour to repair but then again you could have been extreammly lucky and you havnt done to much damage James Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marc1985 Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 Yh oil light came on but by time I got to garage it started to make noise. Now oil topped up noise nearly gone. I drove it home from garage as only a few minutes fells good still just noisey over 3000rpm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
