Car Trouble

well engine let go on the mak
pi--ed as was only cruising along 70ish in top
well after a while found time to removed head and survey damage
another engine about to be fitted 340mr lump so now new elbow and downpipe will be done so maybe it might go a little better?

Sorry to hear mate any idea what made it give up

 

[towcestervag]

not 100% sure but it looks like lifters failed and throw a couple of rockers causing the belt to jump on inlet side
every inlet valve bent and pistons marked also hot spots on bores so thats what made me source another engine
was a little narked at time but its only a car and should be a better one when finished?
will have to try to get to a meet soon just been so busy
