Snapped crank 2019 sweepstake
First snapped crank of 2019
This is what happens if somebody forgets to fit an oil filter
We're running a sweepstake on how many 2 piece cranks we expect to see this year in our workshop. The rule is simple; just reply your guess and we'll let you know the correct number by next Christmas. To keep it fair, I'm not going to give a running tally. So you can enter anytime between now and December.
The prize? A free timing belt change or, if you don't need that, something of equivalent value.
Happy guessing Joe

Forgot to fit an oil filter! I presume oil starvation caused this one?

I’ll guess 65, a nice round one per week plus a few stragglers.
