Hi thanks for input guys
I will strip her down in a couple of weeks when the season ends and have a good examination of the head and block and look for cracks maybe with dye penetration, and if the block needs attention I will take the engine out and see what fixes are available to me, skimmed block = Gasket issues ?
replacement block with new liners ( by the way the pistons are standard so I guess it has been lined at some point) = new pistons /rings
or stitch weld any cracks ? = possibly cheaper to replace the block
or I might bodge it with Liquid Metal!
the joys of vintage motoring !
Mike
