    Hgt Engine Damage (Ouch!!)

    Well this had to hurt, Dropped an inlet valve, bent the rod and shredded a piston, piston particles sucked into the inlet and into the other 3 pots to finish it off.

    Yeah that's my mate Jim.

    Doesn't seem too bad though. Easily fixed I think.

    Think a bit of JB weld should do the trick, lol, Easy fix with a new engine pretty much everything on the engine got wrecked.

    Oh really? That's a shame. I did get him the prices for a new engine but he couldn't be bothered.

    Well the rest of the piston is in the sump mangled by the crank, valve trashed the head totally so the head and rod are dead, blocks damaged, crank will be damaged too.

    Survivers are 3 pistons, 3 rods, cams, 12 valves.

    What engine parts did you get?
