EK Mart OR Blacky's house of dead FB/EKs
You are right 6 of them at the moment and not one of them goes ..........

I have a nice rotating shortie if you need it. Harv got the lifters out of it. Get the thing out of my sight…
Must have been a lifter famine at some stage. Of the half dozen or so blocks I pulled down looking for a crank, very few had lifters left in them.
Cheers,
Harv

Doesn’t seem to be any signs of pinging. Any chance that the top ring had lost all gap and was pushing on that crown land?
That's what Craig Allardyce said - when I drained the coolant out of the block it was green but when I siphoned the last of it out of the back of the block before removing it from the car it was like swamp mud , he reckons the blocks fill up with shit around the back pot , they overheat, the top ring expands and closes up then we all know what happens then .........

Found the rest of the top ring last night - in the bottom of the sump …….
Hoping pumping all that crap around hasn’t destroyed the oil pump , will blow it apart and have a look at it this weekend

Hey Blacky maybe you need that engine that Brett27 has shown a couple of times
It sure is purty but I have one half done in the shed
