now i know i was stupid for doing this but this is my first car and i didnt really know any better until now!!! i have a v6 camaro and i took it out while it was raining and i started doing donuts. while doing donuts i didnt was flooring the gas and the rpms reached 7. now i have seen this done with a v8 and for some dumb reason i thought my v6 could do the same. i was wrong!!! i didnt blow my engine but something came loose inside the engine and now its making a knocking sound. Im extremely disappointed in myself. i would like to know if anyone might know what went wrong with my engine... i have learned my lesson and i will never do that again. plz help!

 

Congrats and be prepared to pay. That could be a number of things. Most likely..... A "rapping/banging" noiseis probably a spun rod bearing. Ticking is more valve/lifter/push rod issues. Whatever it is I recommend not running it until fixed.

 

Ouch, that's no good at all. If you're not a mechanic, I'd get it towed to a shop to have it looked at, don't run it, there's a possibility that it may get worse.

 

One of the things that gets damaged from over-revvingis the valve train. I wouldn't be surprised if you either bent a push rod, bent a valve, or snapped a rocker arm.

 

Doughnuts are cheaper at the store then the ones in the wet parking lot. Let that be a expensive lesson for you.[sm=chairshot.gif]

 

when you do donuts, all the fluids (oil) goes to one side of the motor. you prolly blew up the motor.

 

Just keep in mind that very few stock engines can go to 7000 RPM without hurting themselves. By the way, what does it prove when you do dounuts?

 

I would have to hear the noise but you most likely streched the rods out of shape. If it is still running and does not have a lot of vibration I doubt you spun a bearing yet. If this is a 3.4 then the bottom is a weak point. I have seen its older sister (the 3.1) strech 5 of the6 rods due to over rev-ing. Good new is the machine work to get it back running is cheap (rod resizing), bad news its a ton of labor to tear the engine down.

 

very few stock domestic engines.

uhh. question.. thought th camaros had rev limitors..? i know my 96 did.

 

my 95 has a rev limiter hit that once or twice
