something is not adding up. i'm not saying the reasons are b.s just that something is not adding up. knock sensors nothing more than a piezoelectric crystal and are tuned to pick up a hz in a certain range. on some cars you can beat the engine with a hammer and it won't pull timing cause it's out of the freq. range. i don't see how a clutch could cause timing to be yanked. all i saw from the show is the the engine had a ton of smoke coming from the central area and the overflow puke. the coolant looked like milkshake and too me i was thinking BHG. i wasn't there so i can say for sure, but here is what i do know. A bhg will cause the overflow to puke, will cause timing to be pulled, and will cause driveabilty issues.
here is another option, the belt broke and the motor got hot. an overheated engine will pull timing and cause also cause internal damamge. like i said i wasn;t there. i'm forming my own opinions just by what i saw on t.v. i was pulling for zpi and it's sucks the motor took a crap.

Now THIS is a proper way to express ideas about what could have possibly gone wrong.

1. The serpentine belt blew off.
2. There was smoke coming from the turbo area of the engine bay.
3. There was some fuel/management problem that caused the car not to rev passed 4800 RPM.
These were my guesses, and they are valid ones.
Guess #1 Blown Turbo Seal
Guess #2 Leaking Injector
Guess #3 Internal Engine Damage/Head Gasket
He says Blown Head Gasket, you say OK, I say it, I'm acting like I was there.
You're just being a hugger.
If kenny tells you that the headlight fluid was low and caused the knock, which caused the timing to get pulled, you'd come on SL and scream it from the mountains because Moses has spoken the word of God.

it wouldn't let me upload it to google video, and photbucket limits it to 5 min, even though I got the whole episode to compress down to like 15mb!
to lazy to cut it up and post all seperate clips.

Need I say more?Why don't you quote yourself....
And for only 3 payments of $89.95, maybe I can have her provide email consultation to you on how to maintain your car so you don't blow it up a second time.

As for you giving me advise about my car, I wouldn't take advise from you on how to spell car, let alone anything to do with my car.

That's why we are hitting up the voting count to get the beast back on the show.
