    Update she is a runner I put a new fuel reg on and started up. The engine sounds sweet but running a little rough. It's idiling a little rough hunting about. Also Iam a bit concerned about the oil when I dipped the oil it's creamy could this be due to condensation?

    Looks like head gasket has failed. Dropped oil and it's like a container of salad cream. So pissed off with this Bastard engine. I torqued it all down correctly it's only ran for 10 mins max and this has happened.

    Yes no mayo in coolant pipes just a sump full of mayo. Head gasket was on right. What else could be the cause? Back to square 1 again now. Strip down commence....

    Is the coolant disappearing? If not, then just get some miles on it before stripping it
