Hi Ruairidh, I can better that! This was the demoralising sight when my Lancia engine was stripped down - the result after just two hundred miles of (mistakenly) using a modern oil instead of the classic oil used previously. The results from the consequent blocked passages were a seized main bearing, disintegrating big ends, and scored pistons and bores... and an empty wallet  Sad
