After the day from hell where nothing went right it finished with the newly built engine self destructing, like they say a picture speaks a 1000 words, so heres some pics of number 6 plug!!!!

what happened mate

 

I don't think we will ever know, may know more when the head is off, likely the valve came apart or its dropped a seat, it MAY have had a valve stick open due to a sticky shimless bucket, either way the head will be destroyed as will the piston, prob the bore and more than likely the rod, turbo and oil pres still perfect.

Its hard to keep the love, just 1 decent run would have made the difference but this is just hard work.:(

 

As W Churchill said mate "If you're going through hell, keep going."

 

If there was anyone determined on this forum I thought it'd be you dude.
