    All seems well now, new block, head, cam carrier, pistons etc etc
    Looking good!
    What was the problem, headgasket?
    How many cc's is this engine?
    Twin 40's?

          I love these cars. If only I had a crystal ball 5 or so years ago.

                The builder thought it had a cracked block, we didn't pressure test it before the rebuild. I'm not convinced though, I'm going to put new liners in the original block and get it pressure tested.
                The head gasket was fine, so maybe a problem with a liner.
                Now a 2.0 with 45's, should be making about 235 brake hopefully!
                Will be going on the rollers in a month or so, once there's a few miles on it
