Update to 205 rebuild.
Engine is out and stripped. Cam lobe number 7 has cracked, then jammed the cam as a piece snapped off and snapped cam between lobes 6 and 7. Then the unsupported broken end of the cam has snapped between lobes 4 and 5. This has locked the top end and sheared the cambelt, then bent a valve and rattled to a stop. All this at 15mph.
The bottom end is now at the engineers and being measured up for wear. It's having a crank, flywheel and clutch assembly balance and set of new pistons as part of its rebuild. Then a set of mains, thrust washers, new valves, new cam and followers and usual belt, water pump, all gaskets etc to get it back fighting fit again. Should be healthiest XUD on the planet then with brand new head fitted.
