Monday night I was Driving up Bells Line of Road. As I started to climb Mt Tomah just before getting to the gardens THUD, Shaking, Smoke, loss of power, splashing noises & so on, at first I hoped I'd caught a tree branch in the drive line but new deep down what had happened. But you can't help wishing.
The answer well it was a CONROD through the engine block. Ya it wasn't a tree branch.
I think it was damaged when the engine hydro locked swamping it at Newnes a little over a month ago. question

1) Is there any tricks I may need to now when doing an Engine swap?


I know something was not quite right as It was using more fuel than normal.
