Tony Whitley Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 I hope that's an easy repair. If not, my offer of a slightly foxed 1400 (here - note pristine state of liner) still stands 😬 M1 7 SMW 1.4-now-1.8K Mem.No. 10376 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 How the feck did that happen with a new engine - or was that the old one???? Keep BC free and open for ALL.

GTD Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 May as well have forged pistons fitted then while it's in bits... (well, I am!) Not good for a new engine!

GTD Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Dunno the cause - only other times Andy Macmillan has seen the crank go on a k series was caused by the breakup of the sump foam and consequent blocking of the oil system. But as mine is dry sumped, that's not the cause. Am asking around, but so far no real answers. Just estimates of c ☹️sts!

moomin Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 didn't realise you were allowed a dry sump GTD... Dave, I think your liner is fscked, hope this helps what you really want is a non-cheesy engine, hope this helps maybe a nice Honda, hope this helps 😬 moomin www.megabird.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTD Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Yep - legal in Super and Mega Grads! There's a lot of people fitting these forged pistons now though... BTW I'm sure Dave feels a lot better with your help, Moomin! A career in counselling beckons! 😬 G 4 Geoff Leather Good - Carbon Fibre Bad (Apart from tax disc holders!) - Cranks W *mad*RSE 619 GTD here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 The *crank* went? Ooh, nasty. But it's a false economy to fit forged pistons - it'll end in more tears.

Delbert Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 McCoys no surley Walkers are better, They are not crinkly and there is a better range of flavours including Porn Cock tale, Assault and Wine e gar 😬 When you realise the worlds not nice just drop your pants and slide on the ice!!!

Myles Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Yeah, you're right - McCoys are reconstituted mash aren't they??? I think Walkers are not much of a substitute though - I'm not a crisp man, but I do have fond memories of Smiths Salt'n'shake.... Keep BC free and open for ALL.

henry21p Posted July 26, 2004 Author Share Posted July 26, 2004 I think 'coffee shop' prices are experiencing the same kind of meteoric rise as petrol prices. How long before people start blockading distribution centres with placards stating "Fair Price on Crisps" - I wonder also if there is a stockmarket equivalent for crisps along the line of "Brent Crude" prices? And what is the "Optimax" of crisps? and the LPG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Eye, it were different in my day, back then you could buy a Rolls Royce, a country mansion, a world cruise and still have change from 3 pounds, 8 shillings and 3 farthings Mind you, I used to live in a shoe box in't middle of road Supercheese R250 Edited by - Paul Davis on 26 Jul 2004 09:14:52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
