Q
how to know your engine is blown
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Recognizing a blown engine involves identifying several key symptoms that suggest catastrophic internal damage. These include a loud banging or knocking noise, which often indicates a severe problem like a connecting rod failure. Excessive smoke from the exhaust, particularly blue (burning oil) or white (coolant leakage) smoke, is another red flag. Additionally, a significant loss of power or a complete engine failure to start highlights major internal issues. Overheating and metal flakes in the engine oil, found during an oil change, are telltale signs of severe wear or damage inside the motor. If you encounter these symptoms, it's vital to consult with a professional mechanic immediately. Diagnosis might involve a compression test or an inspection with a scope to assess interior damage—promptly addressing these issues helps prevent further damage to your vehicle.
