Killed the Bugeye!!
Look what happened.
Anyway, while one of the conrods was doing a tin opener impression it took out this sensor. Am I right in saying this it is a water temp sensor and is the 3 pin connector in the other pic part of it?

the missus thinks I did it on purpose because I was talking about a rebuild last week.
I did say that I was actually planning on using the block not buying an entire new one.

another funny thing was when the RAC guy phoned me. he asked how on earth was I able to diagnose a failed conrod at the roadside. I told him it was quite simple as i'm holding it in my hand.

Still at least the other half can't deny you the new engine now - unless she prefers the bus that is!!
Nice to see you're not too gutted!

Update:
dropped in a slight suggestion at home to perhaps cancel the holiday in Malta and use the money to aid a nice engine rebuild ready for Japfest 2009!!!!!!
I'm on the couch tonight

I was actually racing a civic type r at the time, he thought it was well funny when it went pop until it was pointed out that he still lost.
Might have even saved the block but I felt that i must carry on.
Was kinda like the first fast and furious when he knackered the green car in his race. Then I snapped back to reality when I realised I wasnt an undercover cop with the financial backing to buy another 10 second car!!
