Torqued head bolts today, checked valves and changed a cupla tight shims on the Inlets, put it all back together put anti freeze in and it pissed out of the thermostat-cylinder head coolant pipe all over me rocker cover from the cylinder head where the pipe bolts in, pulled it to find the nose where it bolts in a bit bent and out of shape, straightened that and put it all together to now find the pipe is fowling on the fan cowling so i cant get the radiator mounted back, took the radiator of with it's mounting frame, will dismantle the radiator from the frame and try that but it looks like i have a bent pipe, i struggled originally to get the thermostat bolted in, now i know why, guess i got lucky that time..also did an oil change, have to drop that now to check if it's contaminated...
Never had or heard of this before.........fookin typical innit i have to laugh or i'm gonna cry...
