you're wrong! The car was always serviced by the dealer! It's not a sports car!
But what should I do with them?
Do not consider yourself a clever man!

согласен с тобой полностью! но как обезопасить себя от такого риска?

I agree with you completely! But how to protect against such a risk?

Color me confused. Is it the crank bearings? Or is it something with the cylinder (because you mentioned low compression)? But you showed a picture of your crankcase. The low compression wouldn't have anything to do with main bearings.

But to answer your question, this hasn't happened before, it's only happened to you and your mysterious friend (does he want to get involved? Maybe he can show us a picture of his brake rotor?). Soemthing tells me this is all a joke and this is really Donald Trump taking a little time off from Twitter.

Not Lynzoid's style. Im not sure why, but he seems to relish in his own glory and belittles everyone else. Meanwhile valued members get slammed and banned by mods even though their input is actually valued.

i took the remark as referring to Alex186, not Lynzoid. Some posters have practically accused Alex186 of abusing his car, which doesn't seem fair to me.
Oops, I think I misunderstood roadfrog's comment. Sorry about that!

Hi guys!
Do not pay attention to the Inadequate person Linzoid.
I solved the problem with the engine. Replaced the engine.
There was a problem: the сrankshaft insert came out. The сrankshaft insert began to wear off the chain. Crankshaft insert do not have a lock.
