does anyone know....

i was racing my car and pushing it really hard then i had to slow down and stop for a light. well once it turned green i maybe went up to 3k rpms in first then shifted into second, then all of sudden i felt a release of power or something, then the next thing i hear is a loud noise under my hood, almost like a jack hammer. it sounds like its coming from my block or around that general region, does anyone know what it is?

street racing is against the law and not safe for pedestrians. keep it on the track.

you probably overreved and damaged your motor. don't treat your car like a honda.

[myCAMbeatsurCIV]

its only illegal once you get caught

[S2B_Blown_3.5]

or until you kill somebody

Take it to the track and stop being a ricer.

mycambeatsurciv, i believe your motor was ready to get replace..but like 2wickedtoyz said..you rev it up too high..toyotas arent like hondas where you can get up to 8000 or 9000 rpm..

starting a thread that way is a great way to get it locked!

Sounds like you spun a rod bearing(s) from over reving the motor.

If its knocking like I think is, its only going to get worst.

[myCAMbeatsurCIV]

its a rebuilt engine with about 45k on it and the highest rmp i got it up to was only 6k, i didnt redline it or anything.

[Camryamnesty]

take it to the person who rebuild and tell them to check it out

[Galvatron]

Were you pounding on it before the engine was up to temperature?

[92Camry5sp]

I never trusted in REBUILT Motors..But hey..i say have the one who did it..check it..but he'll ask you..what did you do that cause this problem..better have a good excuse..

[amerikim]

3k shifts aren't that hard..thats my daily driving.
Racing at 3000 RPM? I dont think so.
You have a manual I think?
Sudden loss of power with loud noises usually mean the end of an engine.

Camry = Safe rider
Honda = Race

i wasnt racing at 3k rpms, i stopped racing, came to a stop, then shifted up to 3k, then i felt the loss of power, and camry doesnt mean safe driver, some one has gotta make the camry more than a MILF car.

[Knailgun]

dude...the camry can be more than a "MILF" car....and for the record...coming from someone with 8 points on his NYS liscence....take it to a track, throw down against some real competition. Sounds like a rod to me
