i cant work out which of the figures in his signature refers to the car but either way we are talkin over 400 bhp

see how he said just the bell housin held it together and he noticed a problem when the car stopped and coolant was alover the floor

just cant belive a block can totally split in 2 must of been a tiny hairline crack but the power just ripped it apart

Doubt very much the crank, rods & pistons are fine



Look down the cylinder, first from left, looks to me like a bit of the piston in there is missing (edge) and also a few new 'cuts' for vavles
