And then you wind up way more power! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HellionXR6T I'm Back!! Thats right, long over due! :) Lifetime Members 4,348 Member For: 22y 4m Gender: Male Location: West Brisbane Posted 15/04/06 07:36 AM Share Posted 15/04/06 07:36 AM Damn Ian, When you called me I was in shock, seeing it hoisted onto the tow truck brough tears to my eyes. I could only imagine what you and Anita are going through. Hope GOLDIE comes back stronger then ever, I'm sure you will do a great job on it, this time bulletproof and tougher then ever. Worst of luck and how it happened? I'm shocked. Last time I shift from 4th to 2nd approaching that thing Mate, only if you called me a little earlier, 'AZUL" is no "GOLDIE" but I would have filled in as it was, well cleaner then usual, polished it just yesteday...See you on Monday at the Go Karts, and here's hoping you can enjoy the day despite what's happened.Hope GOLDIE is back together in no time.

Is it possible the rod came away from the crank just before it happened? I guess you will have it in bits n find out soon enough. You should be able to tell exactly what happened from all the bits you collect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcl Toughest BA Turbo Lifetime Members 3,408 Member For: 22y 2m 8d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 15/04/06 08:35 AM Share Posted 15/04/06 08:35 AM Sorry to hear about this, and the circumstances.It's just a matter of time with these engines when quite a few mods are in place. Cylinder wall between 1 & 2 is the most suspect with the BA's.Out of every mishap there becomes an opportunity, so I'm sure Goldie MK2 will reappear better than ever.Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
