50 quid........i'll buy it off you right now

 

[gooner8]

That much! deal! lol

 

[tommy's320]

I honestly have no clue, but sounds like a great engine. shame about the rolling of the shell. im presuming your selling it, good luck with the sale lad

 

[gooner8]

Yes to fund a new engine.

 

[B6lee]

Best thing you can do is sell parts like rods, pistons, head, block all separately

The block needs stripping and cleaning now to remove contamination from the spun bearing so gaskets, oil pump bearings all go in the bin anyway

Cheers lee

 

[Simon@NTS]

So 3 bearings have spun and the 2nd hand rods are to blame still???

 

[gooner8]

Yes mate, the bearings were sized right as the crank had to be ground so had to be size to the crank, Chris said it must of been the heat that showed the fault?

 

[Simon@NTS]

Sorry Gooner but someone's pulling your plonker here mate! Could do with some pics but to spin the bearings you have either had lack of lubrication leading to the bearing over heating, picking up then spinning, or someone's mis calculated the bearing size or grind, just to add you shouldn't regrind evo cranks as it removes the hardening.......hmmmm the hardening I hear you say?

 

[RsvRob]

And what sort of refund will you be receiving gooner???

[gooner8]

Don't let them get away with it gooner. As already said most likely cause of a spin is lack of lube or crappy micing,

Al I can say is I'm surprised they actually found your bottom end failure :whistling: not usually one for slurring but I hate to see someone being taken for a ride. Push them for a resolution! You are not to blame unless you held them hostage at gun point and made them fit broken sub standard parts.

 

[Simon@NTS]

Which should have been checked prior to fitting
