So, on the way back with my girlfriend from a trip to Mexico, 5 miles away from home and my Supra or as I am calling it now until it is fixed "the red thing" makes a "weird" sound like metal to metal. I immediately pull over to the side of the road and I have next to no oil pressure (which I had noticed was low) but my temp gauge is sitting fine. Pop the hood and there is some boiling on the PVC area, coolant dumping out of the reservoir like no other and some boiling from the radiator cap area, all of a sudden coolant and water shoot up in the air about a good 10+ feet. Had a friend come pick us up and went home and cleared through a bottle of Vodka to "regroup my thoughts". Went back the next day and the car had been towed, got it out of impound ($136) and filled it with oil and water. Immediately saw water dumping out so I know I cracked the radiator, attempted to crank over to listen to sound, car starts but is the most nasty noise I have ever heard. Got it to the auto shop and just found out 2 hours ago that "It through a rod through the pan". So I need to do a rebuild, my 1st ever. I have the tools to accomplish it and the friends to help, but I'm just not sure what exactly needs to be rebuilt. Do I need a new oil pump and stuff like that, new cams? I know I will need a new gasket set, bearings, and rods. The car has a felpro head gasket and ARP head bolts, can they be reused or do I need new ones? Any help towards this is appreciated, as I think I know what parts I need (through searching other threads) but mainly want to know what to ask the machine shop to do and the little stuff. I merely want to bring the car back to stock, don't have any high HP goals in mind. If you are local and have a block with a BHG for sale and it would be easier to do that I guess let me know.
Cliff notes
1. Supra is dead
2. Shop says I put a rod through the pan
3. Oil pressure was low, temp was fine
4. Need to know what to buy and what to ask machine shop to do
5. Glad it happened 5 miles away from home and not while I was in Mexico
