Theres a couple things that could have went wrong. Couldve done somthing to the transmission, or something to the head. Possible spun bearing, sometimes that will shoot a rod through the block. My friend took his ITR to about 9k and snapped a valve, that wasnt a pretty head after that. The only way you will find out whats wrong is to get it apart.

it isn't a great idea to to that a lot

if you drove it while it knocked and you spun a bearing you are pretty much screwed. align bores can only fix so much damage to the crank journals

i drove it and the range up to 3500 rpms sounded fine but the idle was bad and past that was horrible i kept it low and in neutral when i could to get it home, im hoping i dont have to get a new engine

if you didn't kill it and get it towed and it was a rod bearing you are done. just order the motor now. I have seen motors that have been shut down on oil pump failure as soon as the light came on and they crank and block were totally junk.

drain the oil. if there is ANY bronze flakes in the drained stuff just order a long block unless you got real lucky

thats why im hopin....for all i know it could have been some bent valves and some broken springs because it wasn't a hard knock on the engine and it started up nothin i can really do until i get the call from the shop tomorrow...thanks for the advice

Does anybody know if there is necessarily transmission damage with a bad over rev. because 2nd gear jumped to 10 k but when i was shifting to get home the tranny wasn't fucking up.....?

doubtful anything happened to the tranny. it is most likely a valve, bearing, or the T belt jumped 1/some teeth
