Just a bit of an update engine rebuild halted again this time big end bearings when I took it apart they all looked fine but one was still in the conrod and only today during rebuild did I take it out expecting it to be like the others (its only done about 30 k ) but the white metal was worn and the copper showing through bummer so ordered more lesson learnt :eek::eek:
 
you didnt order them when you were having the block done? oooops. personally i would of replaced them all and had the crank checked. but thats just me :)

i would have replaced them all as the motor was apart and on the bench

To be honest yep complete cock up the engine has only done 30 odd k miles but as you say as it is all stripped down and for the sake of a few quid all new is the way to go oh and "," ".""," ".""," ".""," ".""," ".""," ".""," ".""," ".""," ".""," ".""," ".""," ".""," ".""," ".""," ".""," ".""," ".""," ".""," ".""," "."
Hope that makes it easier to read personally I use specs:D:D:D
