So I was driving the car today and left the Tires Plus parking lot.. I decided to get on it a little for the mechanics that were watching me drive out. I tacked it up fairly good, probably hit the red, and then hit 2nd. Now the car has been driven HARDER than this and has been to the drag strip several times. It's been beaten to hell and back and never had anything go wrong. But this time....I hit 2nd gear and the car starts shaking real bad. Feels like a broken suspension component. I immediately drop out on the throttle and kick it straight to Overdrive. (The car is an auto by the way). As I tip in on the throttle, the car shakes more. It feels like a steady, rhythmic misfire on one cylinder. It shakes real bad. I pulled it over and let it idle and it started pouring blue smoke out of the tailpipes. I had to drive it home, which took about 30 minutes.. When I got it home, there was no smoke anymore, but I checked the oil and I see what looks like either sludge or particles of some kind on the bottom of the dipstick... I haven't dumped the oil yet to look for shavings, but.... The car will still run and idle just fine but it shakes real bad, and there's a slightly funny noise coming from the tailpipes but I can't put my fingers on what it is.
One person I talked to thinks it's a bearing but I doubt it. The motor only has MAYBE 10,000 miles. Another thinks I overrevved it, broke the crab plate and spun a lifter, which ate a cam lobe.
Like I said, I haven't changed my oil yet, and I havent had a chance to pull all my spark plugs and run a compression check on the cylinders... I'll do that whenever I can get my hands on a compression gauge.
What do you guys think? PRAY FOR ME...
