Hi guys well got my engine up and running again and found a spot behind the mount for the loom connectors on the front of the engine where water was appearing at around 3000 rpm it would have been going on for a bit as there was a little corrosion on the bolts ,
I just had an issue when I first got the engine it had a water leak at the base of the valley between the heads, I made a fix with a plug and some devcon and its held out for the past 3 years , it started to leak again so pulled it down and fixed it good this time , whilst test running I noticed some water coming from the front of the Crank case cover there is a round section with like a spiggot around it and what looks like a nipple , water was coming out from here.
I have since found that there is now water in my oil, there was no water last week and the oil was clean as a whistle , the engine runs fine idle's fine no alarms I am guessing this is going to be a full tear down job
might be time for a new engine case perhaps
Any thoughts just putting it out there for ideas cheers guys Tommy
