It's quite obviously failed the legendary Bristol Avenue fire escape crankshaft Q.C test.

You appear to have refitted the old flywheel bolts. New ones should always be used when removed.

I hope you're joking because I've never done that.

By way of explanation: I was told that one of the pistons had seized at the lowest compression ring and the piston top had separated from the bottom at the little end. The rod went below the skirt, wandered slightly sideways, had nowhere to go on the upstroke (we've all been there) and you can see the result. The connecting road was a rather unusual shape as well. Rather un-connecting-rod-like in many ways.

I'm checking through the old TVR pics of my time as editor of Sprint. I'll see if I've got any more unusual ones.

Sardonicus must have used it at the end of the 19th century nursery school to teach himself suck squeeze bang blow?

Here's an 'apprentice piece' perhaps?





A small engined TVR that we'd all enjoy.
