What's wrong with it? If there is oil in the water or
viced versa, it's most likely a cracked head. You'll
need to remove the cam and look very carefully for
this. If it's overheating, it could be a crack into an
exhaust port or a badly corroded waterway which will
need welding. Either way the head bwill need
pressure testing and skimming before refitting.
The best solution is to get an exchange
reconditioned head - there is a company called
Corry's (google search) who are about the very best
for this. The heads look literally like brand new and
are a quality product. Get a complete head and cam
from them, do a swap over with a decent head
gasket set, new cambelt and tensioner, water pump
etc and send the old head back to get the surcharge
back. It's more expensive for sure, but the only 101%
surefire way of doing it.
How many cracked heads have been refitted do you
think??
