:) Its back on the road....well for now. After fittin the shells today and a bit of work she lives again. oil pressure seems good(for the standard gauge). and shes runnin like a sowin machine. nice an smooth with no rattles at al.

 

thanks to all who give any advice on my previous threads.

 

i will be posting a step by step guide as to how i did the job for anyone wishin to have a go themselves. i reckon its quite an easy job for anyone handy, as long as you have a good selection of tools and you havnt driven the car while the bottom end has been rattling.

 

i was lucky as i switched the car straight of wen i heard the knock. i started the next day and the knock only came on wen hot at 2500 revs, so switched off immediately. i reckon i saved myself a lot more work and cash by doing this, so my advice to anyone who suspects a big end failure is to switch off and leave her parked up till you repair her.

 

big thanks to greg who helped me get the right grades for the shells.

Glad to hear she's back on the road.
