datalas:
Engine is making clunky clanky noises :(  and is hence out of commission in light of it being fixed.

Engine is certainly rattley, but you'd think it'd make more of a rattle than that, certainly to let the bits fall out,  however the edges look like it's been broken for a while.

Oh well, we'll have to see what damage is done when we take it apart...

clbarclay:
What does the eingine (piston and bores) look like from below are there any signs of damage. though not the easiest thing to do if its still in the disco.

If the engine is as bad as you say with no other obvious cause then a full strip down and new rings + bearing shells would'nt be a bad thing for it.

datalas:
yeah, it's off the road till we can take the top and bottom off, then we'll see what the damage is.

Not a great deal of point speculating at this point since it could involve any amount of work I'd guess, from replacing the rings to replacing the pistons to reboring the engine.

the edges of it aren't as shiny as I'd have thought they should be, so it's been "wrong" for a while, although how you get the rings out past the pistons is beyond me..

datalas:
Stripped the motor down, took the head off etc .. and found this...

Hmm...

I think I could do with a hug :(

beast5680:
angle grinder will sort that out :wink:  :lol:  surprising its just there though and not all the way down :?
