Just had a call from the garage that is fitting the new engine into
Saskia.
He says that he has fitted the new engine and got it running, but that
there was an intermittant miss and he noticed a leak at the back of the
head. He torqed the head down some more and the leak was better but not
gone.
The engine had not been run for 5-6 years before I got it, but the head
gasket on there is new and fitted 5-6 years ago (without any miles on it
I think).
I don't know much about the internal engine workings, but are the
symptoms and causes described above feasible?
Nothing with that damn car ever goes smoothly...
cheers
