right, well looks like its gone again, was going into town and a clatter developed, so i thought hmmm... get it home then examine it, going up the road, deaccelarating for the junction then the wheels locked soild, wouldnt bump start. im giving up on this car now especially as im picking up the car my parents bought me next weekend. |

could be lots of things. In Ben fae Leeds old chamade, the engine would start and run, sound fine for 10 mins, go drive it and it woul lose power, they after 10 mins it woudl seize solid.
Leave it half an hour and you could drive it again.
That engine is in my shed out the back and I have yet to strip it.
I thought big ends or a distorting piston but the bore is unmarked. |

the clattering was really loud, as if something had come loose and was being held by one bolt. |

eh? why not look on the pulleys and see if the notches are aligned..slightly better way to tell....FYI there should be 17 teeth on the belt between the cam pulley notches. |
