Ooops I killed it!
jjsaul:
Driving to the west mids laning trip today..about 1mile from Jcn5 M5...loud bang lots of smoke and loss of power....
So i pulled over had a look, oil pouring out but couldnt see where...put some more in and crawled to the next exit where everyone else was in Maccy D's...further inspection revealed an unhealthy looking block.
Finally got it AA'd home and had another poke...about 3 inch long section of camshaft was sat on the axle guard and it appears to have put a conrod through the block :shock:
BTW...still runs! Drove it off the AA truck, up our road and onto the drive...i wonder if it would be more economical as a V6 :lol:
skip:
:cry: sorry to hear that.
at least V8s arent hard to come by :)

JJ forgot to mention it's his yellow toy that did this. :wink: I'm still amazed that it still runs myself. :shock: I underestimated the Rover V8 I think... :oops:
jjsaul:
Well im just deciding whether to build another one up or just get one from somewhere else complete, or to stay 3.5 or go bigger, or stay efi or go carbs....oh the options are endless :lol:
Yer its the yellow double cab thats gone bang!
