The problems never end

[Howard Wright]

Hi

I feel your pain.

Before doing anything drastic check if the grooves line up with the gudgeon pin, ie are in line with the engine. If they are not then it’s more likely a ring broken.

 Also check to see if the grooves are new or old.  If they appear old they may have been present before the last engine rebuild.

It’s probably not the best time to sell.  Coronavirus has probably hit the market as buyers are not travelling to view and redundancies have had an impact.  Check out the number of people quoting “circumstances have changed” as a reason to sell.

I for one will be sorry to lose you from the forum. You’ve been a good contributor.

Good luck whatever you decide.

Cheers

Howard
