Blew my engine yesterday *sob*

It was a sad day yesterday as I blew my engine at PG. My water temp was 107C and I think my oil temp was 130degrees. It was my last lap and I wanted to push it..sigh. Should not have done so.. :-(

I broke 1 conrod, a second conrod almost broke (not moving freely), my crankshaft bearings and ceased 2 pistons. sigh..

It will cost me 2.8K to rebuild the engine. To put in forge pistons would cost be 4.5K (including re-boring to 92mm) but I dun think I want to do that as I'm going to sell my beloved soon.

Pictures to follow..
