[QUOTE="67panel, post: 648091, member: 13328"] Thats oil starvation, same thing happened to the 1903cc drag beetle engine due to oil cooler pipes fitted backwards and old filter. Took no1 conrod out , I picked the rod bolts up of the track!! Bearing seizes and stretches the rod bolts and they come loose and then the cap comes off and rod gets trapped between crank and case. Yours could be down to oil relief valve sticking open? Did it have full flow and external filter? [/QUOTE]
