uh oh 3.0 help bad week
hey all, I've been off-roading for a while now, into jeeps, was going to sas my 94 runner and stick her on 37's and give up on my jeep. The catch is I think i just blew my motor. I was driving home from the park heading up a hill to a red light and it "screeched" and died. turned the key as I was in heavy traffic and it started pulled me a quarter mile up the hill and died again, wouldnt start after that. oil was running out all over the driverside part of the engine and all over the oil pan and ground. This happened on monday. figured I put a rod through the block and thats where the oil was comming from. no noise the second time it died, just died. anyway today I was driving my jeep on the freeway and that died hard. yea really unlucky. both rigs down...I dont know much about yota engines but seeing as it is in better shape than its nemesis id try working on that. are there any steps you would do or how do I tell if its done done, theres so much stuff in there less than my jeep anyway. thanks in advance for the info.

well heres the thing it was leaking a ton of oil, most of it after it died, ther was a slow leak to before but it had oil. so i'm not sure timing has anything to do with it. Compression test tommorow get results to you then. no, visual came up negative, can't see a hole or crack. I'm not familiar with timing belt changes or anything like that, would that cause a serious oil leak?? new to yota engines. pretty sure im gunna pick it up fast. This thing was cherry, frame was still factory black no rust at all, 122k miles. all service records there. could a head gasket of blown locking the motor with coolant??
