i recently bought a 2005 transit connect with full ford service history
and a knocking bottom end it was still running but very noisy and you could say leaking oil
on inspection look what i found
a hole in the block

and the other side



cant belive it ran like this. it looks like the conrod came off the piston and caused all this damage.
so new engine built up ready to go in the van.
van cost me 700 replacment engine 250 so a bargin imo.
