the guy who helped me work on my vehicle said the
compression was good,he told me to change the oil,gave me 5 qurks,i put them all in and found out i put to much in,now it blows out white smoke,and when i put it in drive or reverse it just wont go, i tryed to drain it out and for some reason the oil wont drain out, iam stumped can you help?
What oil did you try to drain out, engine or transmission, and what plug did you remove/

we fixed the oil problem,i was working in the dark and had drined the the transmission oil by mistake, so with that out of the way, the noise is still loud its a loud knocking you can hear it louder then the motor, he said the compression was good. could this be the bent lifter,or a cracked piston??I thank u 4 all the help you givin me
Hi there,
if there was any problem with the drive train re bent components you will vet compression issues, have you checked for any induction air leak and exhaust leak ?
