Could be a couple of things. could be a bent connecting rod, or part of ur exhaust pipe might have collapsed. most likely the exhaust pipe. the rod wouldnt cause shaking. either way, ur engine isn't done with...it might just need some $$ pumped into it

i think your first problem is that your motor is made of old beer cans

you also might have spun a rod bearing. is it spitting out alot of smoke and just basically running bad.

VICKI, THE RODS AND THE HEAD GASKETS ON THIS MOTOR HAVE PROBLEMS. DON'T KNOW WHAT THE MILEAGE IS, BUT YOUR NOISE DESCRIPTION TEELS ME IT AIN'T GOOD. THIS IS NOT THE BEST MOTOR IN THE WORLD. TRY AND GET IT QUIET AND MAKE IT SOMEONE ELSE'S PROBLEM. GET A TOYOTA OR A HONDA AND GO ON YOU MERRY WAY.
