Argh, who did you have build the bottom end? I wonder if there was any detonation that preceded the bearing issues.

I'm kinda surprised that it ran, and made decent power, and only spun past a specific power number.
Almost like they ran into knock and didn't react quick enough.

Please don't waste money rebuilding the 1.6

BP6D for the win

As much as I would like to agree, I would think that it would be to cost prohibitive assuming the cylinder head is ok.

What say you OP?

At this point I'd just stay with the 1.6 considering all the custom/one-off pieces and, of course, the cylinder head.

I mean, this is purely a magazine car anyway. J has other cars to worry about now.

JEBUZZZ! I just read this whole thread and then, nothing. God I hate that. I'm going to start reading these things backwards from now on.

Anyone have any updates? Did he rebuild?
