I've never heard a car throw a rod, but I bet it makes the same load noise! I've never heard a bad vacuum line make a load slamming sound! I don't have a turbo, so that's out. It almost sounded like a chain, that's why I suspected it was the timing chain. And no, it won't turn over at all. The starter wants to engage, but it can't turn the engine. I have a lot of experience with this car, and it's never done this before. It's died on me many times, but I've never heard a sound like the one I heard yesterday. This is a very bad situation. Maybe "simple" as in a rebuild, but for someone that just had a baby, a rebuild is not simple!
