A weird FFFFTSSSS sound and then V6 engine dies

[Jayjayjo]

Got 100m from home when the V6 engine on my FTO R made this weird FFFFTSSSS sound and then the V6 engine dies the engine will turn but it sounds like there is no compression in the motor at all, keeping in mind it has done over 300 000km I got it at around 200 000km.. I think its not worth repairing any ideas any one

posibly a blown headgasket, thats the first thing that comes to mind, but really at that many k's, id pull it out, sell off whats good (if anything) and buy a new one, you get get a half cut for 2000 (thats a mivec too)
or get a non mivec and turbo it,
either way, itll be a lot better than fixing your existing one i would say, and cheaper in the long run too, cause at that many ks, theres going to start to be more problems

Mate I just put $1000.oo worth of tires and mags on it..
Yes Connor a sudden loss of power and then I tried to crack it over the pistons sounded
like there's no compression in the motor at all..
And I agree this may be the start of a multiple problems, I was thinking of selling it on
eBay locally for parts starting price @ $1000 (Got to get the money back on the tires & mags)
Sister in-law sold a jet boat with no motor and got $5000. for it! It was a WTF moment
