Not long now
 

Finally finished stripping the old engine down, and found the problem, not surprising really:

Big end bearing on Number 4 piston self destructed:( just a mangled mess, damn lucky the block didn't explode along with it!! at least it helped locking the crankshaft in place so I could take off the flywheel:D

What are you doing with the old block Paul, is it not repairable

No mate, the block around the main bearings is badly damaged as well, all it's good for is a coffee table;)

or a funky wine rack:D

:D

so thats what it looks like :cry:

looks like half a conrod missing

Was this due to oil starvation then, as thought

oh yes :(

Oh well Paul..look on the up side now mate and think of all that lurvly torque you will have with the new block :notworthy :norty: :D

Just dont rip the gearbox to shreads with it paul!!!

yeah would not be a good idea seein all the hard work you doing to it

Well as soon as its al finished, time to start another one :norty:

Buy a PPG...kit :norty:

I've already had another enquiry about a 2.5 conversion;)
