Right then, ill try and move activities back to this thread now...
Have removed the engine this evening, and stripped it down to the bare block.
Havent had time to strip the block, but i can see from one of the holes, that it WAS NOT a bolt that gave up, the big end is still on the crank fine.. the conrod has litrully snapped in half.... Will pull the sump 2moro evening to see if i can see anything else of use...
Havent got any pics from this evening, but have pictures from yesterday evening where i dissconnected some stuff ready to pull it 2nite..

What do people think....
Faulty rod?? (its a d8b...but hmmm)
Dodgy big end bearing caused it to go?
Metal fatiugue of some form?
Just way to higher cylinder pressures / torque figures?
