[philshelton]

what have you been doing Nick, trying to keep up with the rest of the guys but with a trailer on!!!!

 

there are a few pintos on ebay one in milton keynes looks quite good, or just go for it a stick in a zetec

Looking at the black death on the crank, I'd say an oil change was definatly needed

[maccavvy]

hope it's not too painfull on the wallet.

Sorry I couldn't make it Nick, had a dodgy pint last night, still recovering :bad:

Wow looks like you made an even better job on yours than when I blew mine up. If you need an engine hoist and a hand to get her out, give me a shout. I will try to remain sober.....promise

 

Finding blown engines/ pistons seems to be a Rob and Andy speciallity. Hope you get her sorted soon mate

brute force and ignorance got it out, just need a replacement!

[Snapperpaul]

I've just replied to the wanted thread

Now I can see the damage

OUCH

 

Now be honest how many revs were you pulling when it went bang

[nicko]

Can't have been doing more than 55-60 in 5th.

Sourced a complete 205 engine, just got to fetch it, then find time to install it. I'll put a call out for assistance when I can find a slot in the diary.
