the engine light was on, i figured it was the O2 sensor so i ignored it.so one day i was going down I-295 all the fluids were fine i check them every two weeks so i was driving for about an hour the the engine started getting louder so i zoned it out then i saw the meter skyrocket from cold to hot it went from hot to cold in a matter of seconds as soon as i pulled over it slung a rod and i could feel it.so i called a tow truck to take me home then i let it cool down then i checked the block and it was CRACKED,and then later the light was on because of the thermostat.......and yea im in orange park
