"2001ode" I have checked everywhere that water and oil cool/warm each other, Turbo, Modine, head, block. Turbo was replaced with a NEW T34 .48, and I also checked the modine using mains pressure water hose and neither had contamination. Head looks fine but want it checked for soft spots, leaks etc to be sure and the only item not checked so far is the block, bores look sound, still no rust after 6months sat with the head off, and the stud threads have no visible cracks at the deck face so maybe on the sump side???

Anyway I decided to have another engine to be sure and will strip the old 205 block at my leisure and check the items for defects before selling the good parts on, just to be 100% sure. Regards Mark C
