Thanks to all for the answers re Steel Shim Head Gasket! I don't think
that's my problem now and am looking at replacing the block (which does
have some cracks at the stud holes).
I have acquired another block from a club member ( Ser # CT25743E)
which I think is from a TR4 or TR4A. My block is TS65929E which is the
block that came with the car according to the Heritage Certificate.
This new block is completely empty and rusty but looks ok from first
check. Assuming it checks out with my trusted machine shop's validation,
I would swap out EVERYTHING from my old block. Can anybody tell me what
won't work and what I will have to acquire?
