I'd send that back to Alfa if I were you mate. Unfit for purpose and all that!
![]() I thought about this a while ago... There should be a 'Carnage Corner' for posting things like this that have failed in service spectacularly! Any takers/mods? -------------------- |

There should be a 'Carnage Corner' for posting things like this that have failed in service spectacularly! And at the moment it's all mine, mine, mine! ![]() QUOTE Let me know by PM if there are any other past threads you think should go in here too Will give it some thought: at the risk of making this even more of a Cloverleaf 76 exclusive zone I think at least one of my others might make. Oh, the joys of things going dramatically wrong. ![]() Have had a looooong day on the road to Weymouth and back so no time to nip to Halfrauds for the T40 screwdriver thing to get the screws behind the flywheel. Mind you for some reason ![]() ![]() |

Sshhh! Don't tell the wife 'cos am supposed to be preparing Sunday Lunch but just managed to sneak out while the potatos were doing to whip the sump off, and look what I found:
More shrapnel than a bus driver's back pocket... Cos I'm working with the block upside down, everything's fallen back inside but this stuff is stuck in the oil pan These are the biggest bits I've found so far: part of a ring and possibly a former shell bearing? There's no sign at all of a bearing in the big end... At 7,200 rpm am just counting my blessings none of it came out of the side of the block ![]() |

The owner of one 156 we bought off ebay a few years ago and rebuilt took it to the next level, whilst the piston looked the same as yours - pea gravel in the sump, this guy dropped a gear and carried on... Que hole in the block and this;
