it just wont start Definitely a fuel problem, it has no carby!!! Nasty hole in the piston. I reckon it still would have run though. |

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? Keith |

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 ? |

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.

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

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..
