Unfortunately, the engine had always had a crankcase issue and that was highlighted on a sever blast through Bracknell then onto the M4 to get sex with a fat bird

The damage was done and although I still got my end away, the bottom end had finally let go, difficult to see in these pics as the engine is now rear mounted and I couldn;t be arsed to open the boot but the block is pitted to fuck [would need liners in each bore if I was gonna rebuild this one ]



I like head.



One of the pistons crumbled so much it was only the vacuum cleaner that could save it this one [number 3] is a little bit fooked too



And so she stands, ready and waiting for the new engine [yet to be bought/built/borrowed/stolen ] probably need welding or some other shit to get it through an MOT though
