[QUOTE="noddy, post: 229650, member: 3620"] Difficult one, you will only know once its stripped, worst case is, shells bearing & crank are scored, barrels and piston rings shot, also gudgeon pins worn, heads warped. Best case its just a set of barrels and pistons. If it were me I would try and turn it over by hand with a spanner on the pulley, plugs out. If it turns over roll it over a few times by hand see what sort of play or noises you get. If it seems ok. Fill with fresh oil and try and get it running, face it your not going to do any more harm, and you might find its not as bad as you thought. Or take the other route which is engine out take heads off look at condition of push rods and rockers, then barrels off and see it the piston rings are broken barrels scored, ring groves in piston too wide then check end float. IMO if its much more than barrels and pistons its worth costing up recon units, by the time you spend £120 pistons and barrels, £300 heads, crank regrind and polish £30 per journal, your almost into complete recon engine territory.
