1995 Toyota Camry 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 150k miles

she told me she it lost power. She pulled over, it died and would not stay started. I got there in about 2, 3 mins the temp guage was way up and oil light was on. No radiator over heat. I let it cool added allmost two quarts of oil. It started but ran rough at idle but as you raised the idle you got a bad knock that got louder and faster. Comming from one end of eng. If you can tell me how to narrow this down and your right it's worth $20.

Hi there,

From what you have described I would be thinking that the engine has a bearing failure, you will have to drop the sump and start pulling main caps and rod ends to inspect for this,
