get an engine instead of rebuilding it. 50 quid shoudl cover a new un if you look hard enough. |

Nope, thats where the big end bearings had been compressed when the pistons hit the valves when the belt broke! |

there was an oil problem dan as thats not the damage you get in that situation if the oil supply is healthy.
I ahev seen the cranks perfect after the engines spun round out of time at 80mph and holed the pistons!
Why did the belt break anyway? |

It had done 144k on the original belt! i bought it with a snapped belt.
I acnt see any signs of blockages and all the other journels are fine. |

After i rebuilt the head it was always trying to stall on you, it was a fast engine, but always stalled, and the oil pressure was fine. |

get the rods close, they don't have to be exact as they can be sorted.
make sure they are true though |
