    No Loz, that's snot. It won't take the heat.
    Well, *that* stuff obviously don't work, innit? You want some new stuff
    what does work, see? And the filter might have caught some of the bigger
    lumps what felled orf, see? So you wants to change him too.

    Free at last!

    Take heart from the fact that these little buzzboxes tend to get caned
    from the word go and the damage more than likely was already there, just
    waiting to wreck the engine with you on it.

    Previous owners are cunts.

    I fixed a similar hole (CB 750 sohc, broken final drive chain, large hole
    in crankcase) with aluminium sheet and a lot of bathroom sealer.

    Worked too.

    Excellent write up Elly I would have enjoyed it if it were not for the
    damage.

    I really liked this bit "thinking 'oh deary me, what can have happened".
    That's a classic.

    It looks like someone didn't torque the big end bolts up correctly?

    I must admit I haven't had an engine expire in a spectacular fashion like that...

    Yet.

    if it's any consolation, I didn't know where you were quoting from, so
    I looked it up on imdb...
