im at my all time lowest with it now, it seems it may be the best obtion to just break it at the moment, really dont know what to do but i do know its testing my patience.
this car has fought me all the way i think its just a looseing battle
TBH, there is a good chance it's due to the flywheel coming loose and the crank damper coming loose.
Loss of balance or damping due to these can shit the big ends.

Ive even seen engines that have had ultralight flywheels shit the big ends within a few hundred miles of fitting them.
