Lovely news Annie, when you look at the price of a new fridge or heater it brings that in to perspective, it isn't a lot when it is spread out over the next few years, I bet Bill will be happy

Big end whatever that means

Here you go annie,you will have 8 b/e shells,two per rod of which you have 4 rods.
The fail for no oil ,oil never changed or running a engine to slow which does not allow the oil detergents to get hot and clean the engine,labouring a engine up hills in to high a gear which will put extra stress on them.
First picture bottom of rod is where the shells are,second pic is the crank which the run on,third is the soft shells with the oil grove.

It’s the opposite end of the wee end
Ain’t it trev

 

[daygoboy]

Sadly, failure at either end leaves you piston broke. Nothing like an old un!

 

[wildman]

I'll bet you cannot wait to get rolling again.
