Contamination in the sump and on the pick up pipe    Now to reveal the shining problem with this engine, bear in mind it didnt do many miles after rebuild before failing No.4 big end bearing problem I reckon  No.4 big end bearings have spun and welded themselves together   Pretty much all the bottom end is fubarred pics of some of the bearings  Martin |

I wonder which came first, the contaminated oil chicken or the knackered bearing egg Looks pretty sad all round though. On the bright side if it didn't spin a main bearing the block should go again although the quality job suggests it will need a thorough measuring |

That pulley holding tool made me giggle. Out of interest, was it an amateur build or a garage ? |

I used to have the job of putting my sisters car right after it had been to a garage, now I do the lot. After a clutch change in the lake district, she was having trouble getting gears so she drove it down the country to me. While coming down the motorway the front of the bonnet started flapping. Turns out they had tack welded the bonnet on and a weld had broken. The gearchange problem was down to them forgetting that part of an engine mount went on the gearbox bolts, so they just bent it out of the way rather than remove the 2 bolts. |
