Valver engine died yesterday.. need help

[|sAs|]

my engine has quitted on me. Startede with a crankshaftbearing quitted on me. Shifted this bearing. (With the engine in the care from the sump and up). The lasted a week now an app. 250 miles. I even drove it very kind 3000 revs at max. Suddenly the lights in the car started flashing. Pulled over shut off the engine. Unplugged the stereo ect to find out where the fault where. But the fault disappered. Drov further no noises from the engine so fare. On the way back going off the freeway the engine started doing some odd stuff. Engine started to chuckle. At 1500 revs the oillamp started to lightup. And the it died... Tried to start it up again but batteri seem a bit dead. (Its brand new so that was very odd). After about 30 min or so i tried starting it up again and it spun up. Drov it the last 1,5 miles back home very very kindly... 2000 revs no noises from the engine of any kind. When i was parking it.. it died again... that is where it is at now.. and will be the rest of the month till i get in my garage with it.

I have no clue whats wrong with it. And was thinking to pull the sh*t out and try giving it a complete overhaul.. but damn its expensive... Any help to get from you guys?

The light in the dashboard should light up, when its not charging but that is the least of my worries

have a general look of the engine wiring loom to see if its rubbed through or damaged somewhere. when does the oil light come on? whats the average running oil pressure@ what rpm? does the engine sound ok?

Hi sounds like it may be a problem I had. Check your sparks plugs to see if there is oil on them. If there is you may have a crack in your rocker cover gasket. I might be way off but it is worth checking if anything to just rule it out. The rocker cover gasket is very easy to change, even I managed it!!!!!!!

I no you are describing what sounds like an electrical problem but this is what I first thought and now my valver is runnning well

The cover is out and checked for cracks. None found. Sparkplugs looks fine no oil on them.

The oillamp comes on at 1500 revs preassure is about 1,5 bar-2 bar. There is preassure on it. And plenty of oile.

Pulling out the engine anyways. But im looking for a new one. Looked at the Willy engine which could be very fun to put in there. And looked at the Megane engine... but how the heck do i fit a megane 2,0 16V coupe engine in there... all the sensors ect way out. The willy engine is much easier to deal with.

Any suggestions? (remember its a 19 not a Clio.. i have plenty of room)
