Piston Broke..

Well, here's a pretty pass. Driving over the bleak North Yorkshire moors: Engine fires normally. Engine makes loud rasping noise. Cock, hook, and look under the bonnet. Engine still present. In fact everything looks normal. Engine ticking over Ok. Noise only becomes appalling at anything above tick-over. Only option to proceed with the few remaining horses. It was all down hill from there. It was a 1 in 4 hill. Visit to aged parent slightly spoiled by replacing above gasket (with one with fewer holes), instead of sipping tea, and gassing.
Still and all, no harm done and the car is running fine.
