Any idea what caused it?

[cossiedavid]

[800bhp]

[cossiedavid]

[cosman]

[cossiedavid]

[Mark King]

Was your old block std?

[cossiedavid]

Nikasil linner mark

[manoj]

ouch.. good job you caught it early Dave.

Hopefully the Crank is still usual for your alloy block, or are you going for a bigger Crank next?

[Cochyn]

Such a shame, I guess at that power and extra stress any small issue is a far more catastrophic one. But exciting times ahead, albeit very expensive I wouldn't reuse that crank though, scoring looks far deeper than usual.

What bearings were these outta curiosity Dave, ACL???

[c20tbo]

Did it get a hard time Dave? does running all that power really point the finger or could it have had issues regardless of its Bhp

[cossiedavid]

Acl bearings not acl race its been in the car for 5 years and gets thrashed could be crank bent or a bearing failer

[dlf3y]

Thats a bit shit mate will the new engine be the same spec and power or you going for more

[Ben Purnell]

nightmare Dave, will you still be making the trip up to the meet?
