OK, i understand you, i use for the same reason this 159A3xxx type engine ;)
Well see if I can get the block wedged, it could have just been a **** block to start of with, with a hair line crack.. Will be runnin again soon.
Both sides gone loss?
The 36mm Nut can get a lot of torque.
Check the flatness of the crankshaft. Something is crazy there.
Sure no main bearing cap is at the wrong position???
To the cracked block, Punto 1.6 MPI I measured 2-3mm wall thickness at a bore of 87mm. Engine had 250hp. Spark plug damage killed the block.
With bad pistons without good off set you have higher forces onto the wall and you will find a crack later.
Open the crack and check the surface.
Old crack or over stressed crack. Fatigue crack etc.
It's the second crack I know from in 10 years where I'm reading about cracked blocks. The other was 1.3/1.4 engine with a bore of 87mm. Hörmann tried this as far as I know 20 years ago.
Some youth in Norfolk cracked a 1.4 block from the forum in a similar way but it was only ~200hp.
Only cases from the big bore I mentioned.
When you drive without water and you fill on cold water into the hot engine you also can crack the block.
A friend happened this - stupid....
That's what I thought. It isn't the case.
No. There were a lot of differences in the cast.
