I'm assuming you have killed one or more crank bearings by the looks of all the little bits of metal in your sump and on the bottom of your conrods....

My old S1 106 rallye ate a bearing......loud bang, followed by what i would best discribe as machine gun fire from under the bonnet! Not cool!

Ahh, just spotted that! Uhh ohhh!

When I stripped my Corsa engine apart when it went bang, there was 3 10mm washers trapped iin the middle of one of the valve springs, lol.

Good excuse to replace with an F4R?

 

[midge]

f4r conversion ftl tbh. i have cams, my car was 180bhp, i have a new F7R im rebuilding.

imo the F4R conversion is false economy.
