yes, but not from the current seller, these where got about 20 odd months back, i spoke to chap today who first built engine and he said he paid over £500 for them. and that they where not from the current seller, but same items -

good bottom end is ...? rods n standard pistons ????? ta Matt
-
thanks guys, just not sure what to do, get a replacement,put a spacer in and run for a while, or open new one up and change internals and put it back all done. need to source 1 piston and 1 h beam conrod. the piston i can get ,but having trouble getting a single h beam rod. wondering if i get a set of six then sell 5 for a v5 ??? as they are the same rods. all i know is that this will cost big bucks AGAIN !

took the head off, piston no1 has been smashed by the valve stcking 10mm out, the broken pieces managed to get between wthe cylinder wall and sidewall of piston and has siezed in the middle of the cylinder.what it has done to the h beam rod below i can only imagine. the other 5 pistons are ok,hope the rods are too. been in touch with woosner supplier and can get me a single piston replacement, i hope i can get a single h beam rod aswell ( ideas where to get please ). short of it is the block is finished, it was only a few thousand miles old from new , bought two years ago. good news is that
