Lots of daft phrases….sticking a leg out of bed, spitting a rod, throwing its leg etc, etc.
Not seen one this bad before tbh, just thought I’d post out of interest.
Might just stick with BM’s….

Just taken a Porker 911 engine in for vapour blasting, for those of you not familiar with the carnage a broken con rod can cause here’s the aftermath.

Is this a known problem for this engine?

So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with.

No idea tbh Ronk, not looked into them as 911's leave me a bit cold. Tomscott seems pretty clued up on them so maybe he'd know.
It's a fair bit of damage whatever, but def repairable.

Makes a change from bore scoring I suppose! 
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.
F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!

Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

Repairable but could you ever trust it again?

That will be an early 911 then seeing as though it's an air cooled one.
