Do I have a blown motor

Today I was driving then all of a sudden I heard a sound as if there was a bunch of metal tin cans in my engine then all of a sudden my engine stopped.

Does that mean my motor is done for?

And if so? Where is a good shop in the San Jose area?

Sounds like your motor is done! Check out the Vendors and pick one that works for you, won't go wrong with any shops around here. Good luck.......

Definitely sounds like a blown motor. I've seen some interesting stuff from EIP. Give us a call if you'd like a quote on a rebuild.

Thanks

LIC, GST, EQ, and dB are all great shops. Best way to find out the price is to call them and talk about your options.
