Good idea. I’m not liking the idea of doing it in this weather.
-
Ok so things that have to come off for access to the head nuts is Exhaust manifold rocker cover anfd rocker shaft? Do i need to get the inlet manifold and carbs off too? Will i have to completely remove the manifold or just pull it out of the way? I'm going to try and have a go tomorrow before work

It was running yes. i have been losing coolant. But not lots. After my Weymouth trip it took quite a bit, maybe 3/4 of a pint, but that was a 300mile trip. sometimes it does take a bit to get all the cylinders firing, but this morning it was fine and it’s running very nicely. I might as well do a re toque first. Hopefully in the next couple of days. I’m still using it. Hope that’s ok.

I used my new endoscope camera to get a good look. Ignore the cotton bud! I was cleaning the area before insertion. 😳 My Movie 2.mp4
-
Ok. Understood!
-
Oh dear. Don’t like the sound of that much. I thought the manifolds have to come off to get to the nuts? I’ll get the Haynes out!
-
If i have to take the rocker off and the manifold isn't it worth taking the head off for a look see?
-
It's tiny bubbles. almost fizzing out. Maybe it's a tiny crack. Hopefully in the gasket and not the head!
-
I've just run it without the radiator cap on and it's still bubbling out of the same place. It does it straight away from cold as soon as it's running. That means head gasket i guess?
-
I’ll try this later.
-
I’ve ordered a gasket set. Probably easier. I’m going to try and torque them down first to see if that works. I’ll order the nuts now. cheers! if torquing doesn’t work I’d appreciate a check list of the procedure for changing the head gasket. just so I don’t screw it up!

It looks like the K Seal didn't work. I went for a half hour drive. Looks like i'll have to do a proper job. Dammit!
-
It was the Prince's Trust. Got me an a little tool kit made by a company called Taskmaster.
-
I've still got the one Prince Charles bought me!
-
It won't last long enough
-
I like the fact i can easily see the leak. If the K-seal doesn't do it i'll do a proper job, maybe even get the head checked if that has to come off.
-
What stuff? I've ordered the K seal already. £11
-
That's annoying. I saw there's no way to get a spanner on the one at that end
-
It was my trip down to Weymouth. Maybe I was a little too keen to see the sea!
-
I've ordered some K seal too.
-
I cleaned it up as much as i could and i don't think so. It's bubbling out of there. I've ordered a new pump anyway as it's making a horrible noise. Even after greasing it so much it was glooping on the floor.
-
I'll put the egg back in the fridge then. What's the downside of K-Seal?
-
Oh dear. I don't like the look of that at all. Right behind the water pump at the front of the head. Head gasket gone? 5B43CE76-2959-411A-838E-F459B18E2288.mov
-
I think so. It’s better or I’m driving differently. Maybe it needs more burn!
-
It goes on and off as I need it.
