Hi were is the best place to get a new piston bearing from for 2.0l or a set may as well change them all, thanks, oh and new sump gasket for solid sump and plate told need changing when the sump has been removed, but dont know what part it is. thanks

sorry missed a bit out it for the little end of the rods or part number, thanks

I didn't think there was a little end bearing. Gudgeon pin is usually an interference fit in the con rod and a sliding fit into the piston of a sliding fit into both and secured with spring clips. If it's got play, a new / second hand piston and / or rod is probably the best solution.

Has the engine been stripped to confirm this diagnosis?

your mechanic is in the wrong game, he should be capable of things far far greater than a humble spanner jockey if he can conclusivley diagnose a failed little end without lifting a spanner.  :-? :-? :-?

as told 3rd hand as mig 97miles away...

Hmm. It's a very rare failure.

It's also almost impossible to diagnose such things by ear.

Could be anything from a hydraulic tappet to a slapping piston in a dry bore and probably numerous other things, IMHO.

What are the symptoms?

it just went a 20mph, pushed it back it back to unc's, took came cover and timing cover off, plugs out etc, under no spark is slite taping, under load with plugs in its 3 loud bangs 2-1 no power ecu turns off, checked pistons with screw driver side to side no slack, cams all moving fine, see it all moving, sound is coming from left side rear on number 4, timing still in line oil ok water ok spark plugs normal and clean. think thats about it unc is looking after it for me and he got mec round this morning as he just 2 doors down. as long as it in unc drive he dont charge(£)..
