I'm Over It. Engine Blew Up.

[FPVF6355]

Pit lane went right over it, so here's the conclusion.

I found a very small peice of plastic munched up in the sump. This is what most likely caused the timing chain to slip. Where it came from is a mystery, it looks like the same plastic the oil cap is made of.

But my oil cap was new when I bought the car a year ago.

The plastic could easily have been sitting ontop of the head for along time, and fell down into the timing sprocket eventually.

Pitlane has been very helpful, in checking out the car in great detail. And answering any questions or concerns I had about the car.

So I'll be keeping it.

Thanks everyone for your help

Cheers
