How many miles on that 3.4 DOHC Steve? I've not had this happen to mine but aren't they known for the dummy camshaft breaking? Just hoping for your sake it's not a rod.

250,000kms, sound like a rod.
Steve
That stinks....
I was looking at the car today, noticed that it really doesn't sound like bottom end. Took the "valve cover" off and ran the engine, it's the lifters. At idle it's mostly only cylinder 6, give it a shot and it sounds like all of them. I was thinking it's not getting oil, but the idiot light isn't on and there seems to be oil flow through the cam carrier.
Doesn't really matter now though, as I was doing this the f****** motor siezed. Nice.
Steve
Seized! Sure it wasn't a rod or main after all? Are you going to open it up or just look for a replacement?
Brian
Don't have time to mess around, I'm moving in two days, from Ontario to Nova Scotia. I'm just replacing it, then I'll open it up to see what happened.
Steve
Enjoy. I moved from Nova Scotia to Ontario 12 years ago. Wish I could go back home :(
We haven't been in Ontario long, only a few years. Going back now before we are here for 12 years and wishing we could go back home. ;)
Steve
Was somebody knocking at the door cuz the bell was out of order?
