Hot Engine
Hello, fellow Monte's I am new to fourm, after reading some of the postings I knew I was in the right place. I have an 2003 MC-SS 3800 series 2 72,000 miles when I start car 5min later dipstick is too hot to touch if I let car run the temprature guage in car reads normal but the engine gets very hot and starts to knock as if no oil is in it things already tested are fluid in radiator.

Hello Rick; welcome to the forum. I would bet that your exhaust is restricted. Probably the cat is plugged.
