All was not well with the engine that was fitted. Found a puddel of rusty water coming from the back of the donk. So due to wanting the engine bay repainted pulled the motor and trans.What I found was the frost plug in the LH head had rusted out and was weeping. Wish that had been found when the engine was being transplanted.
So have replaced both frost plugs 30mm steel, and am tidying up the engine before refitting.
Plan to heat wrap the exhaust manifolds, fit new plug lead set, and have a polished inlet manifold to jazz her up a bit. Auto trans is also getting a tickel up.
Here's a few pic's of how she looked when pulled.
