scruff Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Have a look at what my naughty Perkins Prima did the other day. It got me 20 miles home like that... knocking quite badly and you wouldn't believe the smoke and smell. Bores look OK (still got honing marks) and I have a spare -recon'd- head. Will price up some pistons and rings but not expecting them to be cheap. Oh and my Range Rover is still in bits too... Priority is to get that back on the road now (it also has a heater which is nice)
dollywobbler Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Bugger. My miniMetro 1.3HLS did that a good few years ago. Wife drove it about 20 miles as well! Does make a pretty spectacular mess.
Sigmund Fraud Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Ouch... At least you know that its conrods are stronger than the valve stems
scruff Posted September 18, 2013 Author Posted September 18, 2013 Hadn't thought of that! Glass half full and all
