| Engine shagged?
Looking for opinions on how my engine might have fared during my recent off. What happened:
- Oil pump blanking plug rattled loose and fell off
- Oil pump was busy pumping oil all over back tyre. This happened on the start/finish straight at Oulton going flat out.
- Duly crashed into first turn. Tip over switch killed engine as soon as it hit the deck.
- After inspection, no grit was ingested and there appears to be some oil left in the sump (at bottom of sight window).
So, what does everyone think? Does it need a full strip or will the bottom end, pistons, barrels survive another season? Heads will get rebuilt anyways.
Cheers,
Felix |
