well.. she died :(

i checked and they appear to have been correct but i cant quite remember the fronts :/ check the pics i uploaded you can see it looks like the piston hit the head as its got marks on it from other parts of the head

Then you need to go in from underneath and undo the big end bolts (you need a twelve-point 12mm socket) and don't re-use the bolts- they're single use only, but not expensive. (I think I have some spares, but not a full set).

Push the pistons out, and have a look at the big ends.

There's no point in building the engine up until you've found the problem, but be aware that some marks on the pistons could be old, and form the last time the CCT's went.

i will do, any ideas on what it could possibly be that caused it?

i should imagine ill get piston out the front and see a huge gouge down the bore.

Your probably better off buying another engine and then stripping the old and seeing if you can get it back running.

You certainly will, if you were going to rebore it, new high comp pistons and all bearings and seals it would go to £500 or so.
That's if you can find anyone who can rebore it.

id love to buy a new engine unfortunately i didn't visit the dentist enough as a kid and had to have 2 teeth out last week as i was in agonizing pain!

£45 just to be seen
£180 per tooth
£20 per numbing injection and i had 5 -.-

It'll probably cost more to fix your engine than buy the other one.

I had dentist work recently and it was £58 for the treatment, that included anything that needed doing, thought that was the standard thing unless you want blingy gold teeth

With my dentist I was quoted a couple or three hundred for root canal work or £40 inclusive to have it pulled...

I suppose her pulling it would take your mind off your toothache for a few seconds.

[VTRDark]

But how much does she charge to pull her.

[roasty_duck]

feel ripped off somewhat haha, fixing the engine seems the best option for me now, or atleast strip it and see.

Don't lose the valve collets
