PMSL.....

The T5 lump was way beyond economical repair once i found the cause of the reported
bottom end knock.
2 of the big end shells had spun and fused into 1, the crank was knackered and No 5
big end was 2mm out of round. I can't believe it didn't throw its rod or how somebody could drive it so long
as it must of sounded horrendous!

Going back to my roots and fitting a 3.9 V8, aiming for around 260bhp at the fly. Slowly acquiring parts ready to
build it back up when i get the block back from honing/skimming.

See ya Sunday mate.
