Looks like it was lucky it stopped before that broken-off valve head did terminal damage.

Impressive, actually snapping a valve :o :o Check the pistons and bores carefully on that one ;) ;)

Car... Not entirely sure but don't think it's a Vauxhall... Can't decide between Rover and Ford as my guess :-/ :-/

A few small marks on the pistin tops, raised them all to the top of their stroke and they all seem to measure the same distance so fingers crossed  ;)

Lazytinker it isn't a Vauxhall  :-*

Leaning towards a Rover at the moment but still not 100%

Yep... Which has just changed my mind... It's not a Rover (as I was leaning towards), it's a Ford

I dunno... You're the one working on it! ;D ;D ;D

Still can't decide 100%... Could be, as TB said, a non K-series Rover :-/ :-/

Hmmm... Got a vague recollection of VW having a similar inlet/exhaust layout at some point in the past :-/ :-/

But I don't care... I'm not playing your silly game unless you post a picture of the engine before you dismantled it :P ::) :D
