No coolant loss, no smoke. I surmise its not catastrophic coolant or HG.
I was driving home with bags full of groceries on my rear seat and the light turned yellow on me so I hit the brakes and not wanting to have everything fall on the floor I stopped in the pedestrian crossing. I flipped it into reverse and lightly tapped the gas: BANG!!!! Same noise....
I guess the coolant sensor/tstat is a separate issue that just happened at the same time and not symptom of HG. I had both done 40-50K ago...is this a short failure interval? 50K?
I think regQ might be onto something...I did three out of four mounts 50K ago... I left the rear engine one untouched. I'm thinking if that one is collapsed or otherwise not contributing some sort of leverage might been created? Either that or a vac hose.. I'll stop by my shop and ask him to look it over during lunch (or at least that's how I imagine it will go after the $$$ I spent there recently)...
