Post by: raywilb on 20 July 2016, 18:26:02
Iv,e just heard from engineer re cylinder head he is leaving it overnight to see if it retains pressure but first signs it looks ok. the oil cooler however is fubbered. :-[ :-[ I know I was told, but at my end a few said its a head gasket, only one guy mentioned oil- cooler. at least now I will have the peace of mind when its all back together all will be new. thanks to all whom have advised. Lesson although expensive learnt.   :y :y

Thing is mate, when I destroyed my engine by messing up the cam belt I was distraught. However it gave me the chance to change all the seals and gaskets. Every cloud and all that 👍

Distraught? You big soft girl.

Like Webby Care Bear says, if something breaks, fix it and make it better!
