The con rod punched through the cam and cracked part of the block. Yeah doesn't take much force to shear a cam - my mate was replacing the hydraulic tappets in a Carlton GSi3000 24V - I said be careful putting the cams back in - do them up evenly and keep moving round the nuts "Ting" and the cam was snapped in half actuated the first 10 valves but not the last two

Long pre-dating camera phones, but remember walking past my sisters first car,2dr Mk1 Escort bought for the obscene price of £60 from a neighbour...and a baking tray which had been effectively glued to the passenger footwell with fibreglass fell off!

dollop of jb weld...she'll be good to go!! I laffed - long since lost a picture I took of a 2 stroke piston that I'd melted a hole in it due to a timing error (me adjusting it the wrong way was the error) - I plugged it with a brass rivet just to last me a few days till I could get a new one - a year later and it was still running so I sold it

Years ago a mate with a bike shop had a bloke turn up on a Honda 250 twin, bang a piston and Conrod on the counter and ask if he'd got another. Further into the conversation it transcribed that the parts actually came from the Honda he'd arrived on, when it threw the rod he plastic padded up the hole in the crankcase and carried on riding it as a 125.

Dealer didn’t torque the pan plug on my BRAND NEW Isuzu NPR at its first oil change, only a dummy light and by the time it came on it was empty. Dealer towed it in filled it back up and said it wasn’t making noise. After making sure they documented responsibility one of my guys drove it away and called me ten minutes later. This was 2004 I want to say and due to a design change it was down for a month while a crate motor came in from japan.

This engine was scrapped because white metal was everywhere. Bits of metal had also gone through one of the turbos. It made more economical sense to buy a new engine than to rebuild this one. A crank alone was around £100K
