On the freeway heading down to the motorshow on Sunday, bit of a knocking sound in the engine. This sound progressively got worse, and in the end i had to get a tow truck to take me home.

Just had a mechanic look at the car and take off the rocker-cover (i think thats it) and he said along the lines of that the piston has a crack in it.

The car does start, but with a LOUD knocking sound, i do not drive this car. As it is stationed at my parents house.

I do believe the car was running low on oil, but not empty. As thought it did just register on the dip stick.

As the comment "another piston could go", if i were to get the engine rebuilt, another piston could come up with the same problem. Meaning yet again i would have to fix this.

Thank You
