Well as usual things have gone from bad to worse, was boosting around the other night and much to my horror i hit 80mph down an A road and heard a sort of bang then a puff of smoke came through the vent and i lost power, although engine was still running, i switched off and quickly pulled over. I lifted the bonnet to see my minter engine bay and 2500mile engine dead and covered in oil The dipstick had come out and the oil cap was no where to be seen. I got the car up to frankenstein and a waited the dreaded phone call, it turns out piston number2 had melted slightly but WHY ? I am absolutly gutted as usual and realy cant see why im having so many problems with this fucking car, its a completly refreshed engine which cost me a fortune and is now dead. I have rung round a few other tuning companys asking how this could have happened and everyones saying melted pistons = running lean, but it was only mapped last week so who is to blame. ? ? ? Also after head was removed i was told that specialised engined never skimmed the head and also didnt use the lube supplied with the head stud and nut kit therefor head cant have been torqued properly. What do i do ? Do i carry on or cut my losses and break the bloody thing
