Well, I slept on it last night, and I've decided to pull the engine and send it to a machine shop. I drained the oil, it was dirty, but didn't see any metal. Went to drain raderator, guess what? NO COOLANT! Oops , didn't check raderator before I went for the drive! But, in my defense, the car has a temp gauge. Temp was at 185 during the drive. But I guess if there is no water reaching the temp sender, then the gauge wouldn't be accurate! Oops, my bad! This mistake is going to cost big $$$$$!
