Another F@@king Engine!

[Tazzzzman1]

Well Green flag did a sterling job and car got back home 5 hrs before us. Today took engine out and found big ends ( what was left) had gone and taken out the crank... So looks like engine number 3 this year!!!

I hope you have much better luck with this one

Such a positive attitude as shown by yourself deserves better.

Picking up another engine tomorrow so fingers crossed this time. Looks like a busy weekend

[Tazzzzman1]

Knackered and ready for a few beers but a cracking day....

Massive thanks to my Dad for helping to remove & strip the engine, then picking up the new one. Also to Rob (CMA) for a real hard days slog today.....

New engine picked up yesterday from roadrunner. With Robs help we managed to strip and clean the engine get it fitted and 90% sorted. So a few hrs tomorrow and some fluids and she should be ready to start up.....keeping everything crossed as nothing has been done to this engine

[Guest Ian & Carole]

Must refrain from whistling if I walk past yours or Dans' car, might find an engine by my ankles.

Ian.....I've heard a rumour that Terry has ditched nyloc nuts in favour of wing-nuts!!! Makes for a much quicker engine swop!!!!!

[Guest 2b cruising]

More like over centre bonnet catches lol.
