The failure of the engine in my Nippy was caused by the rear crank web breaking on the power stroke of No4. The bottom ring was pushed out of the cylinder and the broken stub of the crank then hit the the main part of the crank forcing it up.
The car had lost its original engine and front axle but retained the close ratio gearbox and low ratio axle. I had done a lot of work on the block and was able to build another engine round it.
