Default One thing after another.....

Well today i was in 2nd gear and kinda got on it a little bit. Well i hear from under the hood a loud noise alomost like a clutch blowing up. The car stalls and i pull over to see my crank pulley pulled way out with the belt way the fuck off. And a little oil leaking out. Not alot to my surprise. Looks like i cracked my timing cover ALOT. The front seal is in rubber pieces. I have no clue what could have caused this. Ive got some pics. Post up if you think youve got an idea as to what could have caused it. And me and little nicky oushed the fuckin car like 10 blocks back to my house

My guess IS the crank broke. I have seen this happen somewhere else before.

When you work on the car, do you jack it up under the crank? alot of people do this making the crank weak, right where yours broke. How long have you had the car? maybe some1 before you...

I recently got the car a month or so ago. Ive never jacked it up in that area. Oh well. The motor will come apart this weekend and hopefully get it pulled out. With the way the crank looks i wanna take a look at the connecting rods and shit
