Well been a busy day replacing all the parts. Movement in the old ball joint at track rod was shocking. Turns straight in to corners now with not much roll.

With the bottom end out we stripped the block apart to see what was going on... Big end bearing had gone again!!! And had all so marked the crank up


Pictures don't show it that much but the grooves are pretty deep.
The fella at the garage said the reason the big ends where going is the oil pump was shot after the lad put the big ends in the wrong way round. Didn't get a photo of the oil pump.

I really like the 1600 and to keep the same size block in the car.
