Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Found out this week little A1 as gone to heaven ...........



Only the MOTOR .............New owner was just driving down the street a few strange noises puff bang lottsa smoke from rear .................ooooops I yeah the rocketyhoppa has also blown earlier 2 ..............2nd time since being in A1


It surely wasnt the way it was driven by the previous owner (or was it)!!!!!!!!???????

So do you know what happened to the motor then?

I only got the info second hand off a female............so...........but wen i said its prob no.4 piston gone she said yeah i think they mentioned something like that ........

i'll try and find out and let yas know



zoooks seem to have and inherent prob with no. 4 wearin ......its due to a coolin prob isnt (im not sure but im sure some1 with betta knowledge will tell me )

A1 only had reasonable low kays tooo

bummer...

I know that sierra motors apparently 'ovalise' their bores (where the piston is), but that should happen over time - i.e. with older engines. Mine had about 175,000 when it started smoking pretty badly.

But then again, I have heard of a few sierra's still going strong with over 300,000kms on the clock...

ive seen the way the new owner drives it on the road an he dosent go to easy on it
