Gentlemen
I've just reassembled and started up our P-type engine after an extensive
engine overhaul.
The good news is that mechanical noises are the least I've ever heard from it
- it's like a sewing machine.
The bad news is that once it got hot a weep appeared from the front face of
the block, behind the dynamo. With the radiator and dynamo removed and a
little pressure introduced into the remaining water system, it's possible to
see beads of water coming out in several places on a line maybe 1.5 inch long,
and about 1 inch down from the head gasket. I can't see a crack, even under a
lens, but there must be one.
Obviously I'm looking for a cure that doesn't involve taking the whole
XXXXXXXX thing to pieces again.
Any suggestions?
Regards
Dave Dwyer
