[Healeys] Off comes the head...

[josef-eckert at t-online.de]

Most likely its the oil channel who is leaking. I am working close with 
engine rebuilders and they had 3 Healey 6cylinder engines this year with 
that problem. Two could be fixed with the sleeves available. The third 
block was beyond repair as the leak was too far down in the block.
So good luck for you.

Finally diving in to diagnose and fix the oil in the coolant. Hoping it's 
just the head gasket, but since it started after the engine was done 11 
years ago, I am suspicious that it's the oil gallery-water jacket wall 
between number 4 and 5 cylinders seeping high pressure oil into the 
coolant. Has anyone actually had or known anyone with this problem?
