So ive been getting some miles on the old girl since she's been back on the road. On Monday she started displaying the twincam head gasket sympyoms she had about 2 and a half years ago when she was last on the road. Twincam engines tend to do a few thousand miles with the hg on its way out. But by Friday morning she had so much water in number 4 cylinder it hydro locked the engine. Pulled the plug out and started her up, plug back in and drove her over to the workshop.
Being so busy at the moment I really don't have time to do the hg, so I just fitted an engine out of stock quickly.
Drove her in the workshop Friday night
Engine out that evening
Put the replacement engine in yesterday and drove her home. Much better now. Even gave the car a wash, she was filthy as you can see in the pics
