Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi,had my 2001 3.4 C2 for a couple years and thought it was ok.Mileage 91k Went for a quick run today.All ok and did about 20 miles.Stopped at workshop for 15 mins or so and left for a blast. 5 miles later while following a slow car about 50 noticed a slight rattle.Oil pressure had dropped slightly so stopped. Had my son tow me back with the Disco to my workshop. Started the engine briefly,definately bearings shot.Hopefully not to much damage caused. The race workshop I use for my other cars used to run a GT3 in Britcar so should be able to fix. Good excuse to get the Exige out again.Will let you know the results of the strip down. Mike
Could well be the ims...mine sounded the same;managed to turn it off quickly enough to maintain the timing thereby avoiding total engine destruction!
I genuinely hope you discover something less expensive?
My engine finally let go a few months ago. Have been to busy to do anything about it ,so finally dropped the engine out and dropped it off at Hartech.Result knackered crank etc. Quote from Grant for partial rebuild with s/h crank,rod.Plan B with new liners etc & top end overhall.Plan C full rebuild to 3.7. So 3.7 it will be after reading the article in 911 & Porsche world. Hopefully it will be done before the end of the year. Mike.
Mike - as MC says, sorry to hear this.
Please can i ask, if its OK with you - that you come back here and give us full and regular updates...??
Hope this all gets sorted for you m8 :thumb:

Hi,it was a big end that went and did the rod & crank.With it stripped the bottom end was on last legs through wear.Top end looked ok but it was showing wear.Will try to update with some pictures. Mike.
