Tin lids all relieved

looks like someone took a shot at the motor

Sorry to see Ian, hope you get Goldie back on the road soon.....

Sorry to hear it mate; on toward bigger and better.

To me, something went wrong the last time you gave it the berries. Possibly the rod was fractured or a bearing got a tiny bit of grit in it, or something that is fairly freakish....

Then, while under engine breaking, there was just the right pressure, at the right frequency to make it give up...

Remember, you hit the resonant frequency of a crack (yes, you can do this, the area along the crack itself has resonance) and that's it... gone.

On another subject Goldie, What valve springs have you put in now as I think mine are holding me back with power.

Good luck with the engine build and go all out.
