Nightmare, yeah you'd need to see what went/is going wrong for them to throw rods out, whether its oil pressure related, bearing failure etc, I try and keep away from the limiter for this reason on my 172, read a few similar stories 🫣😂

When did it fail, 7k rpm, 4krpm, on a downshift etc?

Fit a smaller turbo, you'll get plenty enough power from one with none of the hassle

Yes, not sure some sort of grease, mine only does on trackdays when hot also, must be getting a bit dry

Cable needs lubed, best to remove it and lube it up, easier than doing it fitted, something I need to do also now you've remembered me 🫣

Fix anything that's worn first like the rack arms, or could be a slightly sticky caliper

Get a straight edge and some feeler gauges, somethings either distorted/damaged face etc, or your putting it together wrong 😂

Leave the oil for 300miles, then just stick in normal stuff and send it, be fine

Looks good, it'll be ready for a thrash in the snow and a few handbreakers 😂

Hopefully its gone to someone who will use it, never seen one on the road in the last 15yrs 🫣

That blue steel needs two coats to fully seal 👍

I've had the same issue with new depo headlights, there's no cracks in them I can see but they fog up whether I've used the lights or not, there getting ripped out so i can see what the issue is, very annoying

So it was running rough as toast then you went back on track 😂🫣 could be a fuel issue

Veban motorsport have just got a few shells if thats any interest to you

Yeah you'd need to be vigilant spending decent money on any old French shyte
