Looks like you left the lid off!!
;D
Quoteit just wont start
Definitely a fuel problem, it has no carby!!!
Nasty hole in the piston. I reckon it still would have run though. ;D
Ahh That's nothing, just a bit of no more gaps and she'l be right ;)
Did the timing gear strip causing the piston to hit the valve? What was the cause of the hole in the piston?

I think its supposed to drop cylinders to save fuel. New commodore has same feature.
pissed n broke?
sikoflex
wow No 4 cylinder has air con fitted ;D
i just hope its back together for the nationals.....fingers crossd :)
the battery is NOT connected ::).
even I could see that.
just try attaching the wire thing with a clampy thing on it to the lumpy bit of the battery (the big square boxey thing in the corner) and you should be OK then, I think ???.

Oh ........ and did you remember to turn the key ?
Hey surferboy,give up bus driving and open up your own work shop ::)
I'd say that a valve head broke off and punched the hole in the piston. My old man had a Bedford truck many moons ago that was in the habit of doing that. You could tell when it had happened because suddenly it left a huge white cloud of oil smoke out the back.

My engine builder reckons the head leaked and the engine "hydro locked"... i believe him, as he's pretty knowledgable.
Anyways, this is where its at, i thought while its out give it a basic cleanup... , but getting it back tomorrow i hope...

Nelgy,
The engine bay looks tidy, now all that's needed is a tidy engine to fill it. I hope all goes well with the refit

tHe pressures on... It's Tuesday morning... Nationals are in 4 days and I still have no engine...
I had a little honda civic years ago that hyraulic'd before I purchased it. Motor was locked solid. After inspection piston appeared in 1 piece. Con rod was bent and hitting block. When I went to the honda spare parts mob it was the first time they had seen a honda rod bend. Infact they have a poster showing all other brands of rods all bent up and how the honda ones didn't bend..
hey guys, thought u may be interested...
