Default Noisy Big End?

My Mates RS Turbo has Noisy big ends at low revs and the oil light often flickers.

When driving and up the revs the car is fine with no noise.

You reckons its fooked

This stuff any good lol

(assuming your diagnosis of big end noise is correct, and TBH the oil pressure supports it certainly)

As above, only thing thats going to sort the big ends is new big ends, and probably a crank grind and potentially a set of rods too.

Sooner you deal with it the less painful it will be financially.
