Look ok to me....pretty standard state after headgasket failure (signs of rusty water etc).

So, who can see the fundamental design fault that causes it......

Thats it for the day.

I'm now laying in a nice hot bath, JamesV6CDX is on his journey home.

Mrs TheBoy happy, the heaters work in her car  :-/


Jobs to do:
Going to need and oil change fairly quickly (we changed the oil, but obviously still going to be bits of water in it), and same for coolant.

Replace cambelt and tensioner (they gave me wrong kit)

Replace rocker gasket (gave me wrong one)

Replace intake to head gasket (gave me wrong one)

Replace timing cover back plate (thats our fault  :-[)

Replace power steering belt (I just asked for aux belt, didn't realise 2 on this engine)

JamesV6CDX has kindly offered to assist again next week :D
