1 month and blown engine?

Ok so for some reason, I went just got an oil change and was surprise to find sludge.. but I changed the oil put in about 7.5 quarts 4 quarts to clean out the sludge and the rest for the car... The car seems to be fine after that!

So i left my car outside, next thing i try to turn it on 3 days later, and I hear Bang Bang, when i try to rev it to higher RPMS.. So i car dies when it reaches 3000 rpm
with a big bang and off..

Flame came out of the exaust once, and then black smoke now it seems to be only black smoke? Any ideas guys? Plz help!

Oh yea there is a minor oit leak but I am goin to get a mechanic to check all that out i just want some input on what the problem could be. before i bring to the mechanic

and the biggest question is! Is the motor kaputz??

Oh yea! its a 1993 FD r1 with a rebuilt and 13k on motors!

also my battery is not rechargin, so I think my alternator is gone i alrdy checked the battery its good!

I post this because my friend said all this could be b/c of the alternator!

He says fuel is being released and the alternator is not being effective in lighting up the sparkplugs so I get a higher amount of fuel then i should when the sparks light up with the extra fuel thats why i hear the Pow Pow noise and the little fire that comes from the exaust..

Anyone know if this is possible. I've been seriously conteplating on giving up the car due to the fact that i only got it 1 month ago and all this is happening but i love the 7 and I want to fix it up! can anyone plz give me some input. Its been 2 days and i am still dumb founded!

right mate deflood
1) remove all four spark plugs (either replace with new or clean them with carb cleaner and dry in an oven)
2) remove the large fuse on the front cross member labeld EGI
3) put key in ignition and crank engine over for 25 seconds (this will pump out all the fuel locked inside the engine through the spark plug holes)
4) using a syringe or something else inject a few squirts of oil into both the front and rear rotor housing (through the bottom 2 spark plug holes)
5) turn the engine over manually by attaching a socket on the alternator nut and winding until you think the engine is rotated like 3 times
6) replace the dry or new spark plugs and igntion leads (make sure you get the wires on the correct plugs)
7) replace the EGI fuse
8) try start car up
ok?

Locate the spark plug wires, and follow them down:

Trust me, once you run your car and the oil drain plug pops off, it's gone(warped housings maybe and rotors). Don't even overlook that.
