    yeah just make sure you pull the plugs and check for coolant in the cylinders and if there is that just know that if it was happening for an extended period of time and there was coolant getting in to the oil past the rings or somewhere else than there is a possiblity of the bottom end being toast. but if it was running fine before than there is a good chance that it should be ok. the reason i say this is that typically the engine will run rough and have a miss if it burning coolant so you probably would have noticed that before this occured. but like i said pull those plugs and belt and try spinning it over to try to nail this down for sure.

    off to bed now but will check in to see where this goes and if i can offer my advice. that is if it is welcome!

    Not trying to discredit or question things 4dr...but I've yet to see one of these factory HG's go in a few hundred of these engines. They are much more rare than a LIM..

    However.. has this been confirmed to have coolant in the cylinders? It looked like that was suggested and never comfirmed by the OP.

    OP says he has a supercharged car, yet he says "the belt looks good". Uh..there's supposed to be two. Do you see the second belt? I've seen pullies etc go bad and the second belt wrap around the HB etc and cause a near lockup condition due to binding. The smell of rubber and sounds described would be typical of a bad pulley and belt shredding.

    Like I mentioned, no disrepect etc.. Just wondering if we've fully diagnosed the car yet.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
