Hi, my cylinder head has a leak down one of the valve guides so either cracked or porous?
Does anyone have a drivers side head for sale please?

I had a loose value guide that had the same effect

It was replaced several years by the machine shop I used and it has been fine since

really?
it does seem strange that it only happened when the car was at full chat on the dyno and wasn't using water before so you could hopefully be right?
ill get Matt Smith to look into that for me thanks

My early head had brass guides and chrome valves? I was losing compression but caught it early due to wear. Two valves were very loose.
