Another Maestro Turbo owner

[Sussex Pete]

hi pete,forgot to say welcome.the reason I ask wether it was the one from brum is cos we were talking about it at work and trying to fathom out how fuel ended up in the sump wrecking the bearings ? looked a lovely looking motor.were the bearings rattling ?shouldn't big ends knock ? and finally ,how did the fuel get in the sump ? not being nosey,just curious.hope you manage to sort it ok.cheers mate,steve

I'll let you know Steve over the weekend, once I've had chance to quiz the current owner and got it transported back to Sussex. I'm presuming that the crank and shells are shot, so driving the 150-odd miles back home was out of the question!

When I had it the timing was out by around a tooth and couldn't be adjusted easily as the alun bolt had been rounded off in the idler. Dont know if this is still so
