I've been away for a bit over a week's holiday in Perth. Got back just yesterday.

I took the head off the Moke today. Cyl 2+3 were blown to the water jacket at the back of the head. The head has a 8-10 thou depression in the area of the blow. It's got really hot at some stage.

The block is dead flat, which is a relief.

I've dropped the head off at Hoppers Express for a cleanup, pressure test, crack test and a skim.

The bores are absolutely perfect, spotless and measure up at standard size which is pleasing. It should be up and running again soon.

Cheers,

Job done, cooling perfectly. Sits between 80 and 90 degrees C with the fan cutting in and out like it should.

Seems to have a little more grunt now too, but that may just be my perception.

Cheers,
