I
bought a 1995 2.2L Buick Century qith 137k miles on it to drive back and forth to work cause my truck gets 12MPG two weeks ago. I drove it for a week. Go to
change the oil, i checked the oil before i changed it. It was 2 quarts
low. So i changed the oil and filter, i also added a can of engine
restorer and a can of seafoam to the brakebooster line. Drove it for
another week. Ran great. Well yesterday when i was driving to work (6
days since oil change) the car (http://fordtruckworld.tenmagazines.com/forums/topic.ten?id=475241#)
lost all power from the engine while driveing all of a suddend. Pull
off the road, pop the hood and noticed that the exhaust manifold had a
lite glow to it, i pulled the dip stick to check the oil and smoke came
from the dip stick tube and the stick was dry.



I tried to start it and the starter was stanning. I call me dad to pick
me up, he had 2 quarts of oil in his truck. I put them in the car and
tried to start it again. It started and idie's smooth and runs like a
champ, UNTIL you rev it. When you get on the gas it knocks it ass off
like a idieing diesel. But at idie its perfect. The noise is coming
from the top end. I pulled the valve cover and the rockers are fine and
the push rods were pumping oil, so the oil pump (http://fordtruckworld.tenmagazines.com/forums/topic.ten?id=475241#) is working.



So what is causing the knock? And also where is my oil going. It doesnt leak or smoke.



HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



I thought it might be my cat but im not sure. I was going to cut the exhaust and see if it runs better.
