Scraping sound from engine
When I went out to start my 7 today, the engine made a scraping sound and died almost immediately. I'm assuming that I blew a seal (and just got it out of the shop too) but figured I would check here in case it was something else and I was about to tear my engine apart for no reason. Thanks for any help.

Check your compression first before tearing into an engine that doesn't have many available parts...
Know the signs, 1 strong puff per 3 and its an apex seal at minimum. 2 strong puffs and its a side seal.
What'd you have your car in for service?
also what have you done lately? Seafoam?
