My old 1275 had been burning oil for a few months, and after thrashing the crap put it up the dragstrip for 20 runs (makeing it a tad worse:cool:) i decided it was time to find the problem

I found : -




That was the top two compression rings on one cylinder.


cracked a piston too(other engine), but dont have a pic of that handy :(

It's not easy to see, but the bearing block is very worn where the thrust bearings sat and the thrust bearings are only steel as all the phospher bronze (i think) has worn away.

This all happend because the locating tab got knocked off the thrust bearing because it was machined wrong, you can all thank JonSpeed for this.

I like this thread, I thought I was the only one with stacks of bust bits. Miniwilliams you are the master.

Here is my 800 miles old MED engine, you can still see the honing marks, 3 pistons, block & head fucked! make sure you get your timming spot on!! this was done the day before my car was bocked in on the rollers, while running the engine in.

Brand new MED head, miles 0, holes 1

Actually Miniwillaiams, the crank survived. The gut who does the machining on my engines cleaned up the thrust bearing face and got some thicker thrust washers to fit. He also did the centre main strap right.

The block was scrap too, obviously.

My old Omega pistons - two were like this - the ring land above was also fractured off, but stayed in place!

I think marks will be the best

Hell your crank was ok that's good, but you'd never have thought it looking at them bearing

Jim that's a gooden mate! idea if the bore next door is low on boost, as it would be topped up on the other stroke!
I've never seen a block so in dented mate!
