If this is the type fitted to the earlier Pug diesels, then no, I haven't
replaced the bearings etc, but I did have one run low on oil because the oil
seal leaked. Basically it was scrap, as the piston and so called bug end
were clapped out.
Got a replacement.

Just for interest I took it to bits this morning. The big end is ok but the
crankshaft bearings are ill. The bearing /crank unit is a special made by
SKF. Overall a very nicely made unit, but scrap if the crank bearing wear
out.
