Got everything painted up today...t50 came out amazing!







Then i went to clean the sump to make a new gasket and heard a dreaded rattle...found these sitting in the bottom..


So turned her over and had a look,turns out there the thrust washers and when the broke for whatever reason the took out two oil squirters and cracked a tiny piece of the piston skirt on number 3, also loads of marks under the pistons but bores seem to be spotless? I heard the engine running and there wasnt a geek outta it and done acomp test and showed 170ish on all 4...what causes a thrust washer to fail?? Dunno where to go from here,il get a pair of washers next week and throw them in but should i pull off the mains to check them or is my crank fucked already?









Broken squirter...


Chip outta the skirt:


You can just make out the marks under the piston...

So now with this set back have new thrust washers ordered,must find some squirters and hopefully get em all fitted and just cross my fingers that my crank is okay,and take a chance and whack it back together...major fuckup tho,will prob need new bottom end unfortunately!!
