in a modern Turbo-Diesel truck. Car had been overheating and was taking it in for service and something started going thunk-thunk and it stopped. Started it up a little later and it went thunk-thunk again. Failed a compression check at the garage. Looks like major $$$ and the car had some other issues as well.

looks like time to go shopping, really not in the budget for this month.

bah, that sux, although might be able to pick up something more economical for little money now... who knows, wish you luck. That thunk-thunk sounds pretty bad, last time I heard that my buddy's engine block cracked and dumped all oil on the ground after running it for 3 minutes.
