Thought I'd start taking your short motor apart to see what was causing the knock issue at brands hatch...

spun bearing... pretty ****ed really.

quite a bit of metal in the oil... shards and filings and what not.

I wonder what caused it :?

Well spotted :lol:

Rods will likely need re-sizing, crank will be a write off i'd say.

Garreths Sodemo lump spun on number 1 also...

both the crank and rod+cap are pretty mashed up.

Interesting that gareths went on p1... wonder if its a weak point... i think its last in the oil pipeline??? so low pressure could have caused it... not sure really, bits of metal everywhere :O

Oh look! One of my F7R's! :D

Awesome work there Matt, and thanks hehe. I will probably have it repaired and stuff it into a dirty slag.

For those of you that are unaware of what's going on, and why I am a bit quiet at mo...all will be revealed in a new mammoth epic tale of Wobbaness in about a week or two...
