[QUOTE="magoo, post: 574649, member: 19595"] Newly rebuilt 1776 engine with 1600 miles on the clock loses all power on motorway. The engine has been stripped back to find a hole in the piston and light scoring on the rest of them. From what I understand this could have been caused by the carbs running rich, excess fuel washing away the oil. I'd like to avoid the same thing happening again and would like to know if this could be a result of bad machining during the rebuild or a badly set up engine? Cheers. [/QUOTE]
