first car fiesta mk3
right since my car siezed on tuesday 
ive been doing abit (removing engine and stripping it to see what went wrong) and i was quite shocked with what happened to it turns out the oil jets had got blocked and melted the shell bearing on no.3 and killing the crank in the process all the others were the same minus a melted shell only got the car a couple of months ago and with the shit weather ive been putting of the work how i wish i hadnt remember people service every second hand car you get if it dont come with recent service history or like me you may find your self sourcing a new engine anyway onto the pics 
before work began
rocker cover off look at the state of it
head off
on the way out
out
look at the state of the gearbox
sump off and no.3 removed look at the crank
that shit that looks like plastic is the melted shell
and as it stand now
