LOL

The first engine just seized on the M3 on the way to Popham (Crankshaft Oil Galley Plug/main bearings) 97yr

The second engine was newer, was looked after with regular oil changes every 3K miles, with good oil,
run for 2mins from cold etc although I did drop it at Brands, even though I managed to turn the engine off quick sharp. (main bearings again)
in both cases the crank was shot . . oil starvation, even though no signs of metal in the pickup filter
after a month started all over again, but if this one goes thats it for me.
