Yes Tony, number 4, hindsight is a great thing.
               

Hi all, update on engine, please see photos. The back of the block was full of debris, guessing due to sitting dry for so long and the rust and other debris flaking off and all going to the back of the block, causing the overheating on number 4. Would like people’s thoughts on this.
The number 4 big end has heat damage and will need white metaling. 
A complete rebuild is about to start. I think a good engine flush may have stopped this happening?

Colin
