Bit of an engine problem! Blocks apart
Few pics of my poor car lol
I'm guessing a rod let go on the way back from the last breakfast at goodwood a few weeks ago. Started to take her apart so I can get a clear idea of what I'm going to need to build a new engine

Iver way the rod has pushed the piston to the top of the bore against the head then slipped to one side and gone through the bore!
I will build a new bottom end / head with 650bhp in mind then put it back together as it was to run it in. Then change the turbo and exhaust manifold and go for some power

I said in the reply to your last post bud.
Most likely rod broke pushed piston to top of bore then slipped to one side of the piston and through the bore. I'll say for sure when the bottom half is stripped
It's just one of them things

Yes it will go back together with more power but maybe after being ran in as it was! But every thing will be built with 650 in mind is the plan
