Wow fast progress, does seem a bit wierd about it going like that. As above, any idea when you will have it back together and have you gone for uprated rods this time?

Everyone seems to have overlooked that the cause may have been the 17mm spanner you found in the crank case?

Good progress, looks like it will be back on the road in not time

What did you rev it to?
Yeah based on the piston pics, the stock rods can take more knock than that.
Usually when they bend you can see clear marks on the pistons.

Fancy way to say that your opinion regarding tune may have been premature?

here is yesterdays progress, i'm waiting on ARP mains and main bearings, otherwise i would be installing the engine today, and i would have built the engine in a different order, but this was maximized the use of my time, and will be faster to assemble the rest when the parts come in next week.














I wont lie, seeing all these lying about makes it hard to put a tiny turbo on the car...
