Rebuild at 88k

[so called]

I ve just had an engine rebuild on my 2006 Tuscan Convertible.
After 88k and many trips to Germany and Spain, the halftime bearing said no .

Running in time now and a long wait for next summer.

Big thanks to Sportmotive Stoke-on-Trent.

My year '00 engine has just had it's 3rd rebuild at <60k miles, so is now getting to Trigger's broom status as I think the block is the only original part left!

Is that on the original engine? 80k is pretty impressive. Running in is a exercise in will power and restrain. Only 100 miles to go for me.

Wow three rebuilds! What was the cause of fault for the second and third?

Second was due to stretched valves and burnt seats at about 2 years old, 6 months after the 1st for finger followers. The latest was intended to be a refresh due to lack of use for a few years. Turned out the crank had already been ground to +30 by the factory so had to be replaced and the head had cracked in a few places between the valve seats so was replaced with a brand new head.
