The engine No idea how bad though - there's a hole in the back of the sump so I don't think it's going to be cheap.

 

[Feirny]

Fastest 41 seconds of your career.

 

[Gray]

Ah bummer on the engine, Alex

I completely forgot you where at Donnington this weekend! I would of popped over to say Hi.

 

[Englebert]

That is s**t, sorry to hear the news Unfortunately 'that's racing'.

 

[Alex H]

Initial damage inspection - piston 1 has hit the head and is 'loose' in it's bore. Might just be a crank to regrind and balance and a few shells to replace.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Bad news Alex, such a bummer when that happens.

 

[Alex H]

I'd have been pissed off if I hadn't done a decent job of it....

 

[TimR26]

That's a shitter mate

Hope you get it back racing soon.

 

[Jay Payne]

Rod bolt failed?

 

[Alex H]

Rod bolt failed?

Looks that way. We're not allowed to uprate either which is annoying.

Is that something they've checked in the past?

 

[jim cook]

Thats a shame buddy. I was there Sunday down at the old hairpin all day great Classic stock hatch race fair play to Imran great drive

 

[Bluebeard]

Are these still relatively easy to get bits for Alex?

 

[Alex H]

Yeah easy. Second hand bits anyway...

 

[Alex H]

Diagnosis is a new crank, rod & oilpump. Lucky this didn't make it's way through the block...
