Oops to resserrect an old thread, but felt the need to inform people upon a discover today!
Finally pulled the motor and stripped it down today to re aqquire the rods clutch etc out of it...
Puled it apart, to find a handfull of bits of ally in the oil filter pickup (not good...) after picking up a few bits, instantly know what it is, and focus my eyes to the piston oil squirters, to find one missing....
All I can say, is that fook that head let go, because if it didnt, there would have been $$$ of conrods out the front of the crankcase in a very limited ammount of miles, but luckily saved to just needing a possible little end bush due to extra wear without enough oil.... Certainly an intresting find, and slightly concerning!
Thought we had enough clearance, but obviously not enough!
