You are the one that said it DIED gav, ah those misfires, probably not much, do you think it might have anything to do with all that air getting past those piston slapping bores into the sump.
Once you have pulled it down for your rebuild be sure to post up some nice piccies for us all to see.
im sure all the darksiders will be most interested.
All the best with it nobody likes a broke engine.

Sorry, I should have said I had to put it down. 
I reckon there are melted bits in there Tommy, hopefully the bores are OK and some nice new slugs and maybe rods will fix it.

Yes Gav, we are back on the road, got into Forster Tuncurry today. It was an ordinary day, I broke the awning and hit a camp Kitchen with the fifth wheel (under parking directions from the park staff if that makes any sense) and to top it off, ran over a kids scooter in the Silverado.........the kid wasnt on it !!. He wont leave that on the road again.
Tommorrow should be better !!
All the best with Taxi motor II.
Cheers
Chris & Melissa

I agree, without knowing what happened i think you have probably melted some crowns, if its that bad new slugs and rods might be wishful thinking, possibly a bottom end rebuild, you know scoreing to bores and bearings etc,as they say, ''while its apart''
