Message	Google "engine siezed coolant in oil pan" Your engine sounds like its hydro locked and has bent connecting rod(s). My advice is to use this opportunity and website to get your Z going yourself or just sell it and buy aTT. The amount you will pay to have your engine rebuilt will more than likely be close to the value a TT. Or... When customers come to me with blown engines I recommend a jdm engine. Not because of its awesome rusted timing components or it's out of range injectors, but if you remove all the timing components, belts, plenum, valve covers and you usually end up with a pretty clean longblock. Just order: Jdm engine New harness 120k kit Valve cover kit Knock sensor kit Egr delete Rear main seal New plugs Perform a coolant bypass, vacuum delete, PVC reroute, etc. Run the first 500 miles as if it was a freshly built engine. Change the oil and go enjoy your car. Order all the parts first so you can protect yourself with there 90 warranty. I've used tiger eye for the past years and have had no issues, and I've ordered numerous vg's, rb's, sr's, 13b's, 20b's (only 1), 2j's etc with no issues. Good luck
