heartbroken and sorry to you all .....the story

[briggie]

Electronics is my thing, so no, I could only guess which would probably not be helpful.
I am sure others will have some thoughts on what may be at fault though.

I work at the "other end" of the TV/Film industry service engineer in the post production world.. looking after the kit that produces the content.

I'd be along the lines of if the engine still runs, someone is lying to you.

I came across from the serious modified performance car scene, and trust me - if it runs, it's fixable. If it don't run, it's replacable.


Hey guys, didn't we provide a warranty with our assist? I'm up for it.

Just spoke to the garage.

They seem to think it is either number 3 or 4 big end that has gone, aparently the noise apears at 2,000rpm :nenau

Clive (Clivvy) is calling in tomorrow to see if he can shed any light on the problem.

What's the tell tale signs of the "big ends" going? How many are there? Is it likely at all that they can go on an 80k mile engine, diesel at that!?

It may be not so bad news, IF, its just a case of new bearing shells.. Just depends on weather the journals/rods are ok.
Is it possible to get the sump off with the engine in situ?
