The Flymo R.I.P.

[M11 BRD]

Tommo,

Bad luck mate, sh*t happens unfortunately , but I'm sure it'll come out well sorted for next year.

Think positive it could be worse, (if only I could take my own advice) I'm still between                

Hopefully catch you at Thoresby

Were you doing Thoresby John

[V 8]

Thanx everyone. Engine to mr Eales in the next week or so. Will be about another fortnight 'till it's back, then an early start to finishing last years rebuild over the winter.

Car will be a picture when it's out next. Roll on Croft in March

Dave, It will never be at Thoresby again, it won't go round the hairpin!! Shame, it's only up the road

sorry to hear of the engine problems john, if you are going to cadwell on saturday for gods sake don't pay to get in, i have spare tickets if you need them.

[V 8]

OK, diagnosis, two big ends have picked up and a bent crank. My stupid fault for running it low on oil. Another lesson learnt!!! Will need a new crank and two new steel rods.

Good news, Mr Eales said the rest of the engine was perfect and the whole job won't be a fortune, including running it in on the dyno.

Will have all bearings replaced, hone the bores, valves reground, fully washed & cleaned.

Dry sump pump overhauled & scavenge pipes welded in getting rid of the two oil leaks I have

Will have it back next week

Roll on Easter Monday

Tommo

Glad it's not looking too expensive John, and thanks for the route to Aldershot it's looking like Iam having to go! I've wriggled for England but can't get out of this one.
