Yeah man, ACT Australia sorry, I just blazed through the profile creation to get the post out as it was in my head.
Full details:
drove a mate home from work, started overheating which turned to clunking and screeching. Stopped and saw my trail of oil down the highway.
engine is now apart out of the car, bearings are no good, piston 2’s lobe is a bit scratched up but not horribly. Whether or not it’s unfixable is yet tbc.
ideally I’d prefer to start with a fresh engine, and use what I have as a spare, or build one pull the other later on. A long block and poncams isn’t out of the question as long as it’s a full long block.
also don’t need hot/cold sides as they’re of course fine and it’s plazmaman.
will start a proper build thread in the coming days/weeks
cheers as well
