Nowthen - having spent all last Saturday afternoon getting a TD cylinder head off a Tempra in a Force 9 gale :yuck: - I have worries about the what i'm bolting it on to.
I was cleaning out the head bolt holes today happy as a sandboy, when, at the third row of holes in the block, the towel came out soaking wet, not oily, brown and smelling burnt.
Looking around, I also think the water in the coolant way where the pump came off is a little too black for my liking.
Nowthen, does this indicate that my block is fractured or nacked, (the bent head I took off had a fracture line between the valve ports) or did the stuff get in the holes as I wressled to get the head off? I'd appreciate your views...
