Doing the VVT is not fun!

As to my old VW, I knew it needed rings as there was so much blowbye, but I could not hear or feel that the crankshaft bearings were completely gone. The mechanic called me and asked if I actually drove the car there or had it towed, he couldn't believe that it still ran!!

Any engine that looses more than 2 quarts is suspect for damage. The oil is no longer splashed around the crankshaft and when the oil light comes on, it is already too late for the rings and cylinder walls. Time for a new engine.
