I was driving along in my 91 240sx se when suddenly i go to make a turn and a loud noise starts. I knew that the timing chain was going bad but this definitly was not the timing chain. So i go to work the next morning an notice the car losing tons of compression and the car feels like it has 50 hp.
I tried to hit the gas but the sound got louder and so i backed off. I started to pick up speed in 5th and suddenly the speedometer drops and so i downshift, it kept droping and finally shut down and will not start or anything. It sits at a bp station right now until i can tow it home.

well it sounded like a loud tapping maybe a rod knocking maybe? not noticeable when pedal was on the floor compression was horrible but no tapping when i let off to about halfway loud tapping.
