Holly sheeeyt!!!!!

So on the look out for a new engine, that must be trashed beyond repair.

So, what let go do you think?

 

[marios kriticos]

Possibly a Conrod bearing because it's taken number 1 & 8 cylinder out .

Have you seen anything similar before? Is it simply a case of bad luck?

Slight noise ......

 

[Oneball]

It was still running!?

 

[azapa]

My main dealer has only ever seen one 4.7 with damaged internals, in that case was a spun main bearing.

 

[Hawk13]

Holy ****! Any idea of mileage and or root cause? Was it run dry of oil?

 

[zagatoes30]

FFS, if that generated a slight noise I would hate to think what the customer deems a loud noise.

How on Earth can this sort of thing occur?

Thankfully it is so rare it’s newsworthy.

Thankfully it is so rare it’s newsworthy.

I'll welcome that indeed!

I had something similar on A V6 Essex engine, oil pump drive rounded off, oil pressure dropped off, engine temp went up - then an almighty bang as one of the middle pistons went through the crankcase.
BIG cloud of white smoke, more noise and then NOTHING as I coasted to a halt from 80mph on the A3
That was 30 years ago.

Wow that is an expensive repair I hope he has a warranty.

So, what let go do you think?

His sphincter?

And then his bank balance.

And then his bank balance.

It will without a sufficient War Chest.

Daft question, the owner report a little noise, is that when he brought it into the shop? Or did it happen, let go and recovered to shop?

On the drive home tonight I had the windows down and radio off listing for any slight noises!!!!

I always thought that in catastrophic engine failures etx that your insurance company would step in and help in some way? I may be talking bollox though ?
