Relic i dont suppose you know how much work would have to go into rectifying this would it be new engine and turbo? or could there be a rebuild etc!
Just wondered so that he has the most cost effective option?
Depends if the pool of oil was under the crankcase.
Probably meaning cracked sump due to internal impact if so.
Engines on over run rarely stop until they have eaten the internals.
This is a honda engine and can probbaly run at the 4800 limiter for a fair while.
But the limiter works by cutting the fueling....which is useless if the fuel is coming from elsewhere.
So if he is really lucky the ECU would have seen the smoke limiter exceeded and killed all fuel to get it within limits.
Then its a question of how much secondary oil is being fed to the engine.
So I would say if the engine was still running at full rpm with the engine off...it will be way over 4800rpm and the components destroyed.
Just a question of which part fails 1st decides what damage is done.
Even then...the remaining parts would have been under so much stress you'd have to question their remaining lifespan.
So in this case I personally wouldnt settle for anything less than a replacement engine.
And Id be in tears.
Their is the miracle situation were the engine runs out of oil before it detonates.
But then it will probably seize up instead and destroy the bearings.
Probaly cheaper to buy another car being realistic (donor or replacement).
