Update on Tuscan

[tvr5000]

Well, talk about an engine buggering up. Seems to be through lack of oil which came as a suprise. The big end on 1 disintegrated and spread into the engine. Amazing what damage can happen in such a short space of time. I have a feeling it was caused by taking a long sweeping corner very hard at some speed, hence stopping flow to the crank as its all to one side of the engine. Has happened in other cars but thought the tuscan would be covered here. Just know to take it steadier.
Jasons taken care of things to keep the costs down and has done full engine rebuild. Should be picking her up in a couple of weeks as good as new. Can't bloody wait.
Be seeing some of you again on the meets.

Since having my engine rebuilt I've been told to use only 15/50 Mineral oil by the engineers at Craft.
Mobil one doesn't seem to protect the engine as well.
