bucketep91 Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 ouch!by the way all that sealant on the sump was because it was off, iain @crd had the sump off to inspect the damage and he put it back on a couple days before the engine came out.will be keeping an eye on this mate good luck with the build Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted September 24, 2010 Author Share Posted September 24, 2010 ahh right, cheers for the info. that crank pulley bolt is stuck on a right bitch! gotta get the windy gun on it after Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted September 25, 2010 Author Share Posted September 25, 2010 got some pics of the pistons and rods out of the car so you can get a better look at whats happened, by the looks of it, its spun a shell, melted it, and was running for a little while without a shell before the pummeling became to much, luckily i may be able to get away with a crank regrind, gunna take it to a pro to get a verification though.but i was also thinking charlie, that the guy who inspected it couldnt have done it all that well, because he left a 2 inch chunk of conrod and end cap sat in the engine. but the casing is fine the bolt on the left side is really tight also, so thats been bent Quote Link to post Share on other sites
