Yes it is a bit gutting really. All that work for a mile in the first stage  It was a mocal oil cooler with the braided hoses which should not really break. Scary stuff they are supposed to be aircraft quality!
I could buy high compression pistons but I had a look inside the engine the other night and there is a lot of damage. The bearings are completely gone or have rotated round under the conrods.
I wouldnt really be happy to use that engine again as I think the heat that has gone through all the contods and bearings will mean a very expensive repair in the end.
I have been offered another 180 engine with 50000 miles for £350 so I think that is the simplest and cheapest option.

Well it is sort of finished but already I am doing other things.
It has 106 power steering but i dont like it so will swap that for a corsa motor power steering.
I also need to do some work to the proflex to set them up right.
My biggest problem so far has been the sump guard bending and smashing the sump on the bottom of the engine. So far I have blown up 3 180 engines in the last 6 months and im a bit sick of it!
Getting an even heavier duty / material guard made up now.
Power wise I am not sure what my current engine has. My original one was 211bhp. I am working on one of the heads of a blown engine at the moment. Whats your power macj

No I haven't tried one. Its not cheap and not sure how good they are for gravel when a 8mm aluminium sump guard bends?
I have another alloy one from a 207 s2000 which I am going to try. Other option would be to use a tin sump and then it won't shatter like the alloy sump has

Can't help with that but surely kelvar should be stronger than aluminium or steel?

Kevlar will be more impact resistant. Id more likely try another brace or strengthening rib across the location that you keep bending them.
