Not a good sight :-(

[TuxMan]

Devastated is not the word :-(((((

[anotherdom]

Rubbish, sorry mate. Hopefully not too extensive, and you'll be back on the road soon.

Dom.

[Jamescmr2]

I really don't know what to say mate, other than i know how you feel, i really do.

chin up

[Rob_W]

gutted for you Simon, keep going, it'll be worth it.

[Gadgeroonie]

bugger

feel for you

did the bearing spin on the dyno or road ?

[Wooden Horse]

That sucks!

[alex s]

Simon, was gutted for you. After all the hard work and expense and then for that to happen....
It wasn't even being pushed at the time.
Fingers crossed it turns out to be something simple (and cheap) to fix.

[TuxMan]

Thanks for the support guys , absolutely gutted !!!
Gadge , low boost run , no more than 10psi , just about to start lifted revs to 2000 rpm when it just went , thankfully Steve from T&R heard it quick and shut down .
, she is back Home in the garage , not sure what I'm going to do the thought of taking the engine out again just does my head in :-(((

[worty]

Si
Feel for you. Hope you get it sorted soon

Good luck

Damn......that is seriously bad luck m8...i think the thing that makes it worse is it was so anticipated and was supposed to be a good day..gutted for you..but all u can do is bite the bullet and get stuck in to sorting it...dont be outfaced by the thought of it..

[XLRONYX]

Oh man, Tux, you deserve much better luck than that. As others have said, I've been in a similar situation and remember feeling devastated. But I'm sure time will heal the wound and you'll use the situation to make some part of the car even better than it is now.

[Gadgeroonie]

have you got an engine hoist ?

i can come over to give you a hand - alternatively i can bring along a man who can take the engine out in no time if you wanted it done really quick

do you know if it lost oil prssure before it spun the bearing (probably did)

might be worth sticking some slick 50 or tx1 in it next time - supposedly will save the engine if you loose the oil

[playalistic]

That sucks, sorry to hear. Hope it doesn't end up too costly.

[TuxMan]

Thanks for the offer Gadge , need a week off to be honest !!!
still some oil pressure but it's reduced , Tux ,

[Blu3R]

Gutted for you Simon. That's all I have to say.

[Bill NobleUS206]

Tux:

Sorry to hear your news. &

Hope it turns out to be an easy fix for you.

Did this happen during tuning? On dyno or on the road?

[GTO600]

Simon that's awful news & takes some getting your head around considering all the care & attention you have put in. Time out then re-group mate.

[2.5bluenob]

Thats st luck for you simon, i just logged on to see your dyno results and didn't expect this, gutted for you. but i'm sure you will have it sorted in no time!

[sundance002]

Feel for you Si, that's what hap to me just after my rebuild, did you have the uprated shells?

Don't let it get to you just keep going as you well know its def worth it in the end.

Mine after 2yrs and many a pound note spent and I hope I'm not speaking to soon has just had the ecu changed and is now finally working and I love it.

Soldier on mate .

[andygtt]

dont let it wear you down mate... week off, regroup, then get the engine out for inspection.

fingers crossed its not anything serious or expensive.
