yeah petrol was stale but!!! tore the cylinder head off to find two of the pistons had holes in them!! both the middle pots had chunks missing on the outside edge nearest the inlet side,
you could actually see the top compression ring shining at you when i cleaned off the cack, so now i got to put 2 pistons in and rebuild the entire thing!!
Mark wouod it be worth replacing the guides and chain? bearing in mind the low miles?
your call, sub 100 quid for the full kit, may well be ok.
But whats caused the failure?
ok will have a close look when i remove the timing cover completely, as to wahts caused it, only clue i have is that the owners son was known to redline it everywhere and there is a lot of play in the waterpump? hg was showing a little damage in between 2 an 3 cylinders ? other than that no idea!!!
