Wife works in NICU for last 20+ years. It's amazing how screwed up kids can be when they first come out and how a week later they are perfectly normal. Best of luck.
Also possibly a blown head gasket on the 140 at the oil chamber in front of the #1 cylinder. It's a known weak spot. Your symptoms match mine when the gasket blew. If that is the problem and you continue to crank the car, you will bend the #1 connecting rod. Remove all the injectors and crank the engine until you start building up oil pressure. If you see an oil mist coming from the #1 cylinder, that's the culprit. -Dave Walton On Tue, Sep 2, 2008 at 2:08 PM, Kaleb C.
