Well...my engine rebuild or replace is underway.
My mate is busy stripping it down to see if it's worth rebuilding.
It looks as though the water pump has gone there was water coming from the tell-tale and the seals have gone.
When we took it apart we found a rippled pattern to the internals on the metal chamber . My mate says this is called " water hammer " and is evidence of air in the system .
Has anybody any info on this & will it be a problem when we re-assemble it ?
Apparently these are supposed to be smooth polished surfaces .
On the + side.....it looks as though the head is ok.
