Signs of engine failure
Loud knocking
A deep metallic knock from the bottom end signals bearing or rod failure.
Won't turn over
The starter clicks but the engine is locked solid and won't rotate.
Sudden power loss
The engine cut out and now won't restart, often after a bang.
Oil pressure warning
The oil light stayed on shortly before the engine failed.
