Nope, everything around it:angel:, just not a bottom end, complete failure:D

Depends on how you define letting go. If you count spagged bearings then yes I have but it was a symptom not a cause. The oil pressure relief valve spring was soggy and was maintaining just over minimum oil pressure the engine was chipped and the guy driving it wasnt renowned for having a light right boot.

If you mean "well there I was just happily fanging a long and all of a sudden I saw what looked like a con rod and piston jump out of the bonnet" then no.

Hey Stig,

Not very often, usually due to something like that little oil pump bolt coming out....:o

I reckon they are a pretty strong jigger actually:D
