my friend bought james car.
on the way home it lost oil pressure and blew up.
when engine got stripped report came back that two big end bearings were round the wrong way which was blocking the oil channel up two of the conrods.
its getting rebuilt with more work, will be running more proper power and will get used more for track days etc

Who built it originally?
Is this not the engine that got rebuilt and died several times...?
