That's pretty much never a good sound. Just a bang?
Let's hope you didn't throw a rod or something.
I don't fucking know. I don't really feel like messing with it right now. I was thinking maybe the timing chain broke, though I have no idea really
That'd possibly suck - but at least the vehicle wasn't in motion at the time. I also have no idea if it's an 'interference engine'. If it is, you may need a new power plant. If not, it's just a few hours under the hood (if you can get to it) and you might as well do the water pump while you're in there.
I know I can get to the timing chain, if that is the issue. That is not really a problem to access on my car. It is a good thing that it did not happen when I was driving, I would think, and its a really good thing that it happened right here at home and not at some job 60 miles away. So its supposed to be in the high fifties the next three days. I'll go out there and take a look and see what the fuck is going on. Could be something more difficult for me to do like a broken camshaft or something like that too.
