Is my n55 cooked??

MayanRosales · 12-01-2024, 02:21 AM

so recently i was doing some spirited driving around town and decided to do a pull. I was at a roll(roughly 50) and tires started to spin and traction control kicked in causing the the car to rev really high to redline then drop gear which in turn cause the car to go into limp mode, cause a horrid "metal box of nails being shaked" sound, a low oil pressure all to appear. pulled over imediatley and shut car off, checked engine bay and their was some oil on the valve cover(not crazy amounts, also none leaking on the ground). i got it towed back to my house and havent turned it on since. my guess is that motor is cooked and will either need a new motor or a rebuild. thing is if this is the case the car is just gonna be sold as is. lil background, my car is stage 2+ with full bolt ons and had motor rebuilt about 15k miles ago, so all new gaskets, bearings, crankshaft, and timing sprockets, and no issues mechanically since now. always kept up with oil change on time, car had sufficient oil, and was up to temp. water pump was going bad but had one on the way, not sure if this is even related. here is a pic of all the codes thrown on MHD. Am i cooked or is their a possible fix that is less than 3k?
