It could be anumber of things to be honest, either way the outcome is not good which will end up with some kind of rebuild.
Sorry.

Depending on the age of the car, you may be better off just breaking it as you don't intend to keep it. Older classics are dirt cheap now anyways.

Hmmm another engine thats given way. Im suspecting some MAF issues following on from the harsh damp winter to the dry weather..... just a thought.

I'd be interested in the engine. Pm if you are serious about splitting.
