CedricTheBrave Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 Bad luck JC hope it all goes back together soon. if you are going to blow you may as well do it in style eh Quote
JeffC Posted April 30, 2008 Author Posted April 30, 2008 Gutted for you Jeff That engine was fantastic. Wonder what went bang first? Any oil surge or issues? If crank and head are ok they are most costly bits for 1548 I think Terry watched in hi- resolution, when it went bang oil gauge never moved pressure is still up when its belching smoke out, light doesnt come on till car locks up car has always had fluctuation in oil pressure,have tried everything to cure it but couldnt and run out of suggestions, pressure never dropped right down so decided to put up with it really not sure I can go back to standard 1300cc, may fit the brand spanker engine and sell car and move on , if the bits in the engine are shagged I simply cant justify the big spend to put it back to how it was Quote
cidersurfer Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 Cracking vid Jeff, shame about the motor. Hope you get it sorted pretty quick. Quote
R Tyas Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 Sorry to see she's gone bag been their know how it feel's, the car was going really well up to then, hope you get it sorted soon Quote
stu999 Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 On a positive note (if there is one...) the car seemed to be handling awesome. Is that the new 'stiff' (ooo-err) setup? Oh yeah, good choice of music Quote
Scottish Bloke Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 Absolute ****ter mate looked like it was flying. The great vid isn't much of a consolation. Good Luck with whatever you decide to do to get back on the track again. ATB mate Quote
