Spoke to soon - Fooked Big Ends.!
Gutted the car performed so well at the ring, and did its job very indeed. But started car this morning, only to be welcomed with a nasty knock knock from engine. I had to trickle it to work a couple of miles up the road and was notably quieter by the time I got there.
But started to come home and noise was there again, and again better time I got home, but still there. Have parked it up and won't go anywhere now to avoid and further damage.
But defo sounds like big ends could be shot.
The car has been running silly rich all weekend, and probably a long shot but did wonder if oil could be contaminated with fuel causing the noise as the oil isn't working as it should. ?.
Currently looking like it might be going up for sale as a going concern along with a Simtek ECU with AL and LC, and a 6 speed box conversion.
