Thanks Dave,
GT6 engine. Not wet lined. Only 0.01" over bore.
I understand your scenario.

Anthony,
Is this a wet liner triumph engine? It does sound like a cracked liner iss=

cooling system didn=92t show it; only when it got hot did the leak show=85

Don't know what else it could be.
Given the apparent direction of the leak, is there any use in trying some "=

Is it time to pull the head again to look for warping or gasket leak?
I suppose it could be a cracked cylinder, but this block has been checked b=

Desperately trying to get to the RunOffs, Anthony.
