Ah, that'll be the one usually berthed at Repps. Nice see it out and about.

Thanks Peter.

I see you managed to capture a shot or two of Tabitha Rose with a a brolly sticking out above the sun roof. That was Graham's attempt to give me some shade. Bless him.

Oops, well at least it didnt come through the side of the crankcase. looks like the little end seized, that would be why it stopped then.

To put it into easy to understand terms,  it's the vital bit that connects the uppy downy sucky squeezy bangy blowy bit to the spinny roundy bit that makes the water movey choppy thing work.

It should be a tad less bendy and lacking the blue effects round the little hole.

In less technical terms it's buggered. 

[Vaughan]

So do you suspect a blocked oil gallery?

Fear not young lady

All very well finding that, but what caused it?

No. The little end is absolutely fine, it's just oily in the picture.

Basically the engine ran away and hydralocked. On removing the head, no's 1&3 pistons were dry and fine but no. 2 had about 150ml of oil on top of it. That piston no longer made the journey to the top of the bore so engine out and bent rod discovered.

Now that's the interesting bit, more of which later once the rogue parts return and Investigations are complete.

Anyway
