    To be honest Shaun, all it needs is headlights fitted, and the handbrake mechanism needs to be altered as it’s too stiff to pull up.... apart from that car is ready for MOT... just need some time

                  Well had a few days on the mini, started getting things done, the list of things needed doing is getting smaller and smaller. Then I started her up as usual, tapping from the lifters when cold as usual, then the tapping didn’t stop like it normally does, then something blew the fuck up inside the engine, because now it’s a massive crunching sound. Sounds like maybe a tappet has disintegrated, or maybe a valve has. It’s definitely top end, and I’ve still got 60lbs of oil pressure, it’s very very mysterious. Any ideas? Started stripping the top end off the engine. Anyone selling a c20xe[emoji23][emoji23]

                    Disintegrated pike? Don't happen?
                    They are so strong, let us know asap
                    More like something's been allowed to be sucked in!

                      That’s another possibility Shaun that I’ve sucked something through the Weber’s. Won’t know for sure till I strip the head off. Let’s just hope damage is minimal.

                        Finally got round too working on the slut. Looks like it’s gonna need a full engine rebuild. I’ve got the head off, can’t see any damage. Block out next, and take mains/big ends off to see what’s what. Anybody got some tips for rebuilding a solid and reliable c20xe? Which manufactures/parts are better than others etc etc.
