    I doubt Mike will care to be bothered to find out for now.......

    Will keep you posted.

    Well, back in Alice after my 12km adventure this morning...

    Strangy has pretty much summed it up - took engine completely apart, freed up the rings, pistons felt much snugger in the bore, No. 4 exhaust valve not looking too healthy but should have been fine for a while at least. Reassembled when parts finally came in, and everything felt okay. Took her for a test run yesterday evening, performance was good and everything felt like she was a runner.

    Today we did what we needed to do round town, everything felt okay so headed off. About 12 clicks out we lost power, started getting engine knock, engine failed and coasted to a halt.

    12km, we never went above 70kph, no sudden acceleration, heavy load on the engine or anything like that, oil pressure and water temp were all good, but she's quite literally boiling the oil in the engine, by the sounds of it.
