yea well i went to a friends house the other day and and everything was fine in my car. well he wunted to drive it so i let him drive it around a little bit. i didnt think nuthin of it well when i left it was knocking real bad and i pulled over to check it my radiator was bone dry and there wasnt any oil in it i was pissed. becuase i had jus been running my engine with no oil. i have a 2.3n/a 1988 hatchback and we put some more oil in it and it started up but now its shaking terribly and still knocking. any suggestions on wut i should do or wut is wrong? thanks
more than likely time for a rebuild, your main bearings have probably spun.
