Hello folks. It's been a long time since I've posted in here, and now I've got some bad news (for me @ least). Two Sunday's ago I checked all fluids as I do every Sunday and fuelled up for the week. The oil was 1/2 qt. low but looked good since I had recently changed it so I added 1/2. On my way home from topping off the gas tank the motor turned 130 miles. Monday morning on my way to work a _major_ knocking sound appeared and the Jeep started 'shaking'. I figured it was done and I would try to 'limp' it home since there isn't much traffic on the road at 4:00 a.m.. I went about 2 miles and decided to stop and call a tow truck. I checked the oil and it was at the full line on the dipstick, but real black. I tried to move it in the driveway but now it won't start. So did it blow? Maybe timing went and piston hit valve? It has had a lower end knock since I've had it, and that it what seemed to get loud. Any ideas before I start to disassemble? Oops almost forgot, '89 Wrangler 258
