Engine Help Please!?

Question:
I own a 1981 Ford LTD. I've totally restored it with blue paint, racing stripes, Grant steering wheel, dual hood scoops, crager mags, 351W engine, T5 transmission, dual hood scoops, diamond plate dash, new interior, etc. It's a really nice car that turns heads. Well, after spending all of this money and taking this car to shows and winning several awards, now the engine is a mess. The engine knocks horribly and when you start the engine, it forces the oil filter off and oil spills out everywhere. I really don't know what is wrong. Everyone keeps telling me that I'd be better off replacing the engine. Any advice from anyone?

Answers:

Where can I find direction in replacing oil pump in a 2000 Malibu?

First off, check to see if the threads are stripped at the oil filter, as it is not possible to blow oil unless there is a major problem. Once fixed, you may need to do an overhaul to inspect the valves... loud knocking also could be a wrist pin let go and is now loose in the crankcase...a mess as you have said.

Vortec vs. Fuelie?


Oh, and next time you pimp put a car start with a good engine.
Cheers.

what could be wrong with my truck?

Sounds like your check valve in the oil pump is stuck, I would replace the oil pump, then do a manual check to make sure that the pressures are ok....

Chevy with mushy brakes occassionaly-ABS light is on?

too much oil?bad oil pump relief valve id say have spun the bearings on the crankshaft which would raise the oil pressure and cause your knocking

is it easier to hook up the transmission and the motor then put it in?

Sounds like an oil-way blockage. Pressure building up on one side of the blockage and no oil to the downstream side. The components on the downstream side are shot due to oil starvation. Time for a tear-down and rebuild. Sorry.

Estimate the costs of these parts?

expect that in a domestic car :) ford

do I have to invest to much money to start a diesel garage?

I think bobin35 is right. Sounds like a bad relief valve, and a spun bearing. Don't run it anymore until you pull the bottom end apart and take a look. Worst case scenario, you have to rebuild it, best case scenario, replace a couple bearings with some .010 under bearings and replace an oil pump.
