Subject: Re: oil in water
not a reply to myself but the continuation of the story:
the head is now off. Donīt forget the two heating pipes to the inlet manifold ! also dont put the rope for pulling off the head around them (guess what I did)
here are some impressions from the action and a look insite. More inspection to come: the valves look quite bad and coked. The liners look ok only number 5 has some rust (because of the water in oil). Now I will make the down-holding device to the liners before turning the engine and see the other cylinders. I am tempted only to give the head to be refurbished and leave the rest of the engine.
Impressive how little space there is for the head gasket to seal between cylinders 1/2, 3/4, 5/6 !
Suggestions whether or not to enamel the exhaust manifold ? it looks like it originally was. Paint the inlet manifold ?
