    You won't see that until the pistons begin to disassemble themselves and he may not have run the motor hard enough to get there yet.

    I hoped to find something obvious, but...this...
    well...I'm lucky that, besides leaving some scratchmarks on the counterweights, there wasn't any other damage done to the bottom-end, because, seeing this, I realise it could have ended much worse!

    The other thing I found...a little bit of water in the oilpan, mmm...it looks like it came inside through the distributer shaft...
    I'm having a closer look into that this week.
    grtz,

    Going sideways through a bend isn't considered normal or even sane, so that's the way I like it!
