I'm guessing that a conrod has not let go in spectacular fashion as there's no unplanned holes in the block. Other than that I have no fcuking idea... :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

If you ain't bothered to strip it for the benefit of yourself then you should not bother posting on the forum as we can't read into the condition of the block if it's still in one piece!
