Worldly Scions,
I was running the engine in the Grape on saturday, trying to balance
the carbs, when I noticed to my abject horror oil weeping from the
vicinity of the head gasket. The head is dry, but the block is oil
covered. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am planning on picking
up a new head gasket tomorrow, but what could cause this problem?
The only thing that I have done to the engine was to remove it from
the car so that I could replace the pilot bushing and re-attach the
transmission. Surely hanging the engine from the lifting points
wouldn't have caused anything like this. Maybe I have a case of the
mysterious breaking head bolts like Barry Fox.
Thanks
Doug Mitchell
