Oh yes she runs like a dream now. But she did before as well! Right up until "the sound" started in the great engine failure of September 2014 as it shall be known

Yeah in Australia and done in about 2 weeks. $4500 $5500 $3000 Nope - MORE!!

For those following along at home & wondering what the end result was... FULL ENGINE REBUILD!! New or reconditioned everything! Want to have a guess at the price for the full rebuild? :)

I went in to see my mechanic today to see my engine in about 7000 pieces. The first thing he showed me was the head & the pistons. Beb number 2 was completely disintegrated causing a fair bit of wear to the crankshaft which is being sent off to be regrinded. Looking at the top of piston 2 - you...
