Hi I have question to ask about my car.
i was driving down the highway when I heard a clunk then another clunk I slowed down then before I got stopped it sparked and started a small fire. My friends opinion is I blew my crankshaft apart I dont really no but I could use some advice on the cheapest fastest way to repair or if this is even worth repairing. Will I have to replace my whole engine or can I change out the crankshaft assembly. I apprectiate your time and effort. Thanks

Should be check by a qualified by person
as it my be many other things
check if the fire was at the belt check alternator and other accessories
if its to be the crank shaft best and easy way out would be another engine
