Good effort. have to give you more points than dangerous because you included valve damage!

How long did he leave it WOT? If it wasn't toast when the first thing let go, he definately pushed the lever down and wound the dial around just to make sure.

New set of rings and she'll be 'right, mate !!

What can I say......... Wow, that's impresive, sort of went the same way my marriages did!!!!!!!

To tell you the truth, there was no warning. The engine was going better than it ever had before, then crunch - tinkle tinkle tinkle............. Pulled the clutch in straight away and that's the damage.

It did have a lot higher compression than standard 12.5:1 but nothing explains that kind of damage....... Just as well it cost you stuff all Bren!!!! I had thought there might be some usable bits but........
