I'm Screwed
 
Yesterday i was driving home with a friend from school and i was taching maybe 3k and all of a sudden i hear a bad clicking noise coming from the engine. so first reaction turn it off and turn it back on after a few second to see if it goes away. no luck. i asked my dad about it and he thinks its a bearing or a piston skirt cracked. and i dont know what to do. should i rebuild the motor, should i get a new motor, should i do a shortblock/longblock. i have no idea. any help would be greatly appreciated right now. thanks.

Are you sure you didn't throw a plug?

Post a vid of the noise. There are way too many things that can be.

If it's a popping sound, then it could be a plug thrown out.

Hopefully everything turns out alright.

I would check several things before saying it needs a new motor???? check plug, compression of each cylinder etc.
