Well Im pulling out of a side street, and I'm in first gear @ about 2000 rpms getting ready to shift (not hot rodding or anything) and all of a sudden I hear a BAM and she dies. I coast to a stop, and try and crank her over, and she just cranks and cranks and cranks. Well I was on a hill so I make sure there is no traffic, and coast back to the street where I come from.
I call my dad and he says he'll be there shortly to tow me home. He has me turn over the motor while hes there, and he says its turning over really easy. I noticed that my gauge didn't read any oil pressure. He said its possible that the distributor shaft broke (would explain no spark and oil pressure). Anyways after finals I came home and started my diagnostics. I checked for spark at the coil and plug. There was spark at the coil and none at the rotor, which was kind of weird. I then took off the cap, and tryed to turn the rotor by hand, didn't move. That eliminates the broken distributor. With the cap off, I turned over the engine, the rotor did NOT turn. So Im thinking (hoping only) its the Timing chain.
After all that, my question is: Is there a gear drive available for the 60 degree V6 (3.1L) ?
