Went to leave work tonight after working a double (7am-9pm), Bronco started right up like always but had a slight pinging/tapping sound coming from the right side of the motor. Let it warm up and seems to go away under throttle but was very audible when not on the throttle, about a mile from work i pulled over to check the noise out and cant tell much in the dark. Pulled the dipstick and all looks good, just did an oil change last weekend. Noise continues and seems like it may be getting louder.
Get a few more miles down the road and only have about a mile til im home. Going about 55 when it stutters a second them POOOF! HUGE plume of black smoke can be seen in the rearview and i smell oil. Lots of banging and clanging coming from under the hood. Pull over and jump out to pop the hood, all looks normal under the hood except for smoke pouring out of the Valve Cover Filter/breather. Pull the dipstick and still looks fine. Try and crank it and nothing, locked up. :crying: AAA got her the rest of the way home.

What now? This is my daily driver and need to get her back on the road...
Sick to my stomach:|
