Default Turned into a project once again

I don't know if anyone will read this, since it's been a long while, but I thought I'd give an update anyways.

The engine lost all oil pressure on the autobahn with a trailer. Rodnock.

So I changed it out with a known good engine and overhauled the whole drivetrain while I was at it. Completely new front Suspension, full service, different rear axle, different gearbox. Has been running great since two months.

I did a compression test after the fact and it was awful, as i predicted. Below 20 bar on cylinders 5&6, not much more on the others.

I put the broken engine away and will eventually pick up on it, tough i suspect the crank can no longer be used because of the broken rod bearing.

So i unfortunately destroyed another D24 but gave another one new life and the car lives on.

Greetings,
Mario
