Further to all the talk about the disintergrated piston, is there much damage Jue (maybe a very silly question) to the cylinder itself, let alone con rod, crankshaft, crankshaft bearings, and head / valves / cams?? :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/

Apart from the 2 holes?  ;)  ;)  ;)  ;)  :y ;D ;D

I did phone the Seller on Ebay and asked for some money back,

he asked why and I told him that some parts were missing ;D ;D ;D ;D

I've met the guy and he was VERY genuine. When i told him what I had found he was as shocked as I was.

We both had a laugh over it..

Think I would be getting a block and a valve from a certain forum mod, and making a good one out of the two by re-building the head and sorting the donor block by swapping the chains etc over.!
