Hello Gentlemen,
This may be in the wrong section...but I'm hoping for some good advice.
I've been running my TVR1A BB Engine for about a year now & it's suddenly developed a problem
When cold it's all loose & spins freely but when it steams up, it will run fine for a couple of minutes & then slowly come to a clacky halt.
On trying to turn it, it has become jerky & stiff.
I've tried changing boilers & piping to no avail.
Can a wise man tell me what has happened?

Corrado.
 
sounds like you need to tear it down and inspect for scoring and galling.....
