Hello:
I am trying to get my Spitfire back on the road after a multi-year absence and
have a couple of questions that I hope someone can help with.
My first attempt ended up with water in the cylinders, especially 1&2. My
engine is a MK4 FK 25234UE. On checking things after pulling the head off it
looks like I may have used the earlier head gasket in error. I'm going to
order the later head gasket to compare, but thought I would see if this
sounded familiar to anyone..?
I also noticed that the little metal arrow indicating TDC on my crankshaft
pulley has chipped off at some point. It's not a problem for getting TDC
because there is an additional notch on the pulley for this. I am wondering
if I should be concerned about engine balance. The arrow is pretty small, so
I expect it doesn't matter much, but thought I would ask.
Thanks
