Did you replace rod bearing and fixed it?

[@RRRCUK]

Pretty happy with the fix. There appeared to be no wear to the crank or Conrod. The bearing, in this case, had sacrificed itself.

@@RRRCUK how many ks have you done since then?

[@RRRCUK]

It is due its next oil change since doing them. I will inspect it and hopefully there are no sparkly bits. £47 repair. Cannot complain.
