60ftman Posted April 9, 2007 Report Posted April 9, 2007 Took out the Escy to Shakey for the first time in a couple of years last weekend (31st/1st). Running strong - full monty rolling burnout - cough - pah! Dragged it back to the pits and yanked off the left-hand head. Crack in number 5 bore, big chunk missing from piston. Block must have got a bit thin with the latest bore, but F*ck me I'm pi**ed off. Brand new 8.5 litre rebuild rendered junk in less than ten seconds. I need a sponsor now or our season is over before it began. Bu**er!
