Hi All,
In case any of you were wondering...
Merely a blown head gasket I suspect.
Now Vin rang me this morning to give me some advice, drain the oil, drain the water, squirt some CRC into the cylinders to dry things out until I can get around to fixing the motor. All good advice. So I pulled one set of plugs last night and span the motor to remove the cylinder full of water, which now resides on the underside of the carport roof, also should have pulled the fuel pump fuse as the other three pots kept on firing, looked good though. Tonight I drained the oil, and the water, had pulled the fuse last night, squirted the CRC down all the cylinders "just in case". Thought I'd spin the motor over to shoot any crap out of the spark plug holes. Guess what, CRC is flammable!! The other spark plug ignited the remaining CRC in what can only be described as a loud bang. I've now disconnected the ignition as well.
Cheers

Well it looks like the new front sway bar was working a treat!!
love the front left wheel lift Stuart!!!
I think it does that in a straight line....
Listen stick-man, I have to have ballast in the car to slow me down. Not all of us have a huge ego to carry around! ;)

Yuk. No wonder it made such a mess!
wish mine had been that obvious - still a bit iffy on it actually being the head gasket, but I'll find out when it goes back together...
Question I'd be asking now though, is where did the missing bits of metal ring go out of that gasket :o
I am at racing weight....
