vs commodore
Strip the engine and look for the damaged parts,probably main and big end bearings.They usually go first unless it gets heaps hot and lets go at high revs,then the pistons,rings, and the cylinder walls, all get damaged as well as the bearings.

thanks brett_jjj
im thinking of getting a gregorys manual and stripping the engine down, i was just worried i wont be able to identify the main cause possibly wont stick out to the untrained eyes, and while im at it might aswell put in some forged internals but thats after i can find whats stuffed

pull the spark plugs and wind it over...if the head gaskets were changed its possible they didnt seal and water has filled the cyls...cometic gaskets are damn expensive as well hope that isnt the prob...
