Just a little update, unfortunately my big end bearings have gone in a big way so I was looking to get the engine rebuilt but as James was selling his recently rebuilt engine it made more sense to buy this.

Not really sure why the engine failed, all I can think of is that its a knock on effect from the JBS turbo failing and spitting a bearing in to the sump. Turbo was replaced and oil pick up pipe was replaced etc but maybe the damage was done and it was just a matter of time.

Hopefully by the middle to end of next week I'll be running the hyrbid on a 2008cc stroker engine. Be interesting to see how that changes things.
