The trophy with 187k on the clock...

If I think I know how you think, this'll be an excuse to 'future proof' the next engine.

 

[Sir_Dave]

I look forwards to seeing the new forged engine build then

 

[Kelv]

Mike, you are probably on the right line of thinking
Dave, I shall keep you posted

Would love to know why it's always number 1 that puts a leg out on the F4R there must be some reason/weakness to cause it as all of the meganes that threw rods have done exactly the same thing.

last one to get oil?

Mine did a fairly similar thing to Kelv's but was number 3 on mine.

Bad news Kelv I'm sure you'll have it up and running again soon! I found the other week that my engine that failed last year had a spun centre main bearing, would be interesting to see if yours has done the same.

furthest from the oil pump is the obvious one. Although when the spin a shell is't normally number 2 IME

 

[Kelv]

James, I shall investigate when the engine is out and see if anything is obvious as to why it let go.
​it won't be sat redundant for long
