Thanks mate Ive been poking around in there with a drill bit but haven't got through yet. I'll keep trying.

Can anyone tell me which is the drain plug for the water jacket. Last time I pulled the head off I took them all out and nothing came out.

Well i put the head gasket on with no joy, I did oil the head bolts but that shouldn't have made to much difference. I guess its a rebuild.

ha just notice my typo.

Well monotorque head gasket is meant to only need to be tensioned once but the one that was on there was a monotorque gasket but the bolts didn't seem to be tight enough so either a re torque is needed or they never did the bolts up correctly.

Yeh I'm taking it to a head shop today to check it as I don't have anything that is true to check it. Do you recommend a re torque on and monotorque head gasket, I was thinking of doing it just because the head bolts didn't seem tight enough on removal. I know another important thing is to lubricate...

Well got the head off today. There wasn't anything obvious but the gasket was a fairly new looking ACL monotorque but the was some discolouration between the cylinders. The head bolt were fairly easy to undo, a lot easier than any head I have taken off before so I'm hoping the owner before might hav...

Cheers for the reply. Fingers crossed its the head gasket. It just doesn't make sense to me that it doesn't blow smoke so the rings should be good so its making me think head gasket.

Just thinking. My car never blew any smoke at all and still doesn't so wouldn't that say my ring aren't worn?. Could it be a head gasket. There is no water in the oil or the other way around but could it be leaking from cylinder to cylinder since it is just cyl 3 and 4? I might just be clutching at ...

Hoping someone can help me. The other day my engine started to miss a bit. I got it home and did a compression test. Cylinders 3 and 4 were low on compression so I put a bit of oil in the cylinder and it read really good compression so I'm guessing its ring/piston wear not valves. Can anyone tell me...
