The project was finally on the road this week. New head gaskets so it's stopped pi55ing out water, twin fans fitted, thermostat fitted, new Toyo's, new stainless manifolds, hood cleaned, T cut the paintwork, starting to look and sound and drive like it should.

Away for the week and suffolkfoxy is enjoying driving it round. Starts to feel a bit rough on the drive so she gives it a (moderate) rev to see if it clears it, and pop - it stops running. No restart, so I decide to remove a spark plug to see if it's flooded.





Oh b4lls

Took the cam cover off, and it's broken a valve spring and hence the valve has dropped, so god knows what it has done to the inside. Oh well, let's take the head off again.
