Sorry to hear about your car Brian. If you decide to part it out, I may be interested in the shell.

Somebody help me with my engine failure analysis; I'm not seeing how oil and/or coolant issues could lead to an engine crankwalking? Every crankwalk case I have ever seen has been due to faulty engineering, improper machining, and/or improper assembly.
