Finally got the car on the road after fixing a blown head gasket. I got
about three miles from home, started up a hill, alll of a sudden a loud,
heavy clank started in the engine. Called AAA for a tow (yes, David, I
did tip the driver) and got the car home. The clank sounds like a heavy
hammer hitting an anvil but the engine still runs! I'm thinking maybe I
broke a con rod or the crank. Will the engine still run with a broken
crank? Guess I'll have to pull the pan and find out how poor I'm about
to become. Any wisdom from the list will be greatly appreciated.
