Ouch, does this mean the race car gets a new screamer engine??

My old man had a mini in the '60s and heard something go when giving it some curry. The car was still running, though a bit shaky, so he drove the odd 10 or so miles home. Got there without a hitch, and pulled the motor down to find a snapped crank. :shock:

Gotta love the good old A series.

Won't get deeply into it on here, but to say the least, I was not happy with some non-engine related service and they were not happy about working on the Mini.

But I've heard good things about their motors from a few people/
