rgrigsby Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 It's still not 100% certain but for definite I now know that I have 1 broken valve, 1 broken valve spring and a dented piston. Not sure what else yet... Time to go and hide in a corner somewhere...... ☹️ ☹️ ☹️ Rob G www.SpeedySeven.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Robinson Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Bummer Rob, sorry to hear it. Hope you're sorted by llandow. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgrigsby Posted April 14, 2004 Author Share Posted April 14, 2004 That's the wierd thing, I can't see how that can have caused all the drive train clunking. I think the valve was what went on my last timed run. Possibly caused by whatever was causing all the drive train clunking/vibration. The engine is still in the car at the moment, until the pistons are crack tested I won't know whether the engine is going to need to come out completly. The chances are it will so at that point we can take a look at the rest of the drive train. Unless there are a series of miracles in a row it's very very unlikely it'll be ready for Llandow ☹️ Rob G www.SpeedySeven.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
