thrown rod

dropped valve

blown rings

busted wrist pin

serious lash

water pump

low turn signal fluid

hard to tell with out actually hearing it or having a better description of the noise. hope it goes well.

btw -- you just popped your valve cover off on the side of the road?!?!

Send a message via AIM to drift
if you dont see anything odd during a visual, it's very possible you spun a rod bearing... so no driving the car.
