    Hey quick question

    A piece of the pistion skirt fell in to the crank hence the siezure of this engine. (because of the top end giving in)
    It still turns over (with alot of effort!)
    You reckon my bottom ends rooted?

    engine was also sitting outside for a while. wouldn't make a call on whether it's buggered until you can get the cases apart an look at the bearings. I think there may be a bit of rust in there.

    Piston was farked but prob only from when the bottom let go, was the big smash in the front of the barrel there when you did the top-end? coz it doesn't seem like it got there from this bang?
    Nothing else seemed to wrong except that some idiot had done the base nuts up to a million footpound
    Iw was in there?

    The barrel was rebored by Kerry Lindsay Reconditioners, seemed in very nice condition before I put it on. Should've seen the old piston though, massive crack down it's side and the wall around it crumbled in my hand.

    I'm glad it wasn't the top end anyway which is they only thing I tampered with.

    I didn't have a torque wrench, just tightened it untill water stopped getting into the cylinder. It worked, didn't it?
