My car died from lack of oil. Ever since then, the car runs very rough.

Your lucky it didn't take your bearings out.
But it sounds like maybe you burnt a valve.

Well if you run the car until it quit because it diden have oil in it what happened was you floated out the lifters and when the oil got back to then some of them diden pump back up. They may pump up if you keep running it. But the long term effect is that you have parable scared the rod and main barrings and the cam barrings. But that dont mean you did you mite be lucky this time.

If you have a car with an overhead cam, you damaged the cam shaft. You can wear the lobes on the cam very quickly if they are starved for oil. Once that happens, the valves that control the input of air/ fuel and output of exhaust are restricted, they don't open as far.

you probably done some severe damage to the engine,,if it actually stopped running,,this means that the engine basically locked up on you because of lack of lubricant, this engine may not be worth salvaging because oil is the main thing an engine needs,to function well,,also oil help,s cary away the heat,of the engine,,basically what you done to the motor,,would be like rubbing too rock,s together,,there gonna grind up right,,sort of what might have happened to your engine,,i hope this isn't the case,,good luck with it,,i hope this help,s you.

I would venture to say that you have scorred a cylinder wall. Basically, the rings are melted to the piston and scraped up the wall. Usually on one side of the cylinder wall. Piston is probably trash too. Save yourself the time and frustration and buy a long block and swap the engine. Or you can visit the junkyard for a motor. Good luck...sorry for your troubles.

When your oil pump has no oil to pump the crankshaft gets very hot which causes lots of wear on rod bearings and causes engine to seize. could mean rebuild very soon.
