Posted 06/04/10 12:40 AM Share Posted 06/04/10 12:40 AM (edited) My old BA motor.....Piston/rod came straight out the sump. Sump needs to be replaced.My question, can I just get a new (or even second hand?) rod and piston fitted then everything is back to normal? Or do I need machining and other crap?

Could be damage to the crack, heavily marked bores, bent or broken valves...there is alot that can go wrong when your engine creates its own crank inspection hole...

Did it break the rod? I'd imagine that it will have damaged the bottom of the bore, f*cked the crank... New engine coming up I think...... To make matter worse, you have to pull off all of the pipework that you just put in.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its still at AVO. Just deciding if its worth me replacing the part and selling the motor in a 'repaired' state if it is a simple swap over. Obvisouly not gonna bother if damaged etc.I already have a 07 tornado f6 motor in my BA all done few months back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
