hi all started my v8 up on Saturday after noon only for it to cut out .... after removing the starter Motor and other things I deduced the engine had locked up ..... after removing the heads and sump I found that the big ends have picked up and locked the engine due to oil starvation .... so I'm gonna rebuild the motor ive done around 40 miles in the car since I bought it and the plan was always to rebuild it anyway so no biggie ... however if the engine is a 10.5 -1 compression ratio can I use the rebuild kit from a 9.35 -1 as the price seems very good for the kit ... the cam in mine is shot .... and a right mess ....
