Got a problem with my engine. Its a 1600 running on a single carb, without a thermostat.
The problem is that it gets really hot then either Blows a hose or boils over. replaced the head gasket, head bolts and got the head skimmed. Put back together, got really hot again and blew the back hose near the starting motor.

is the head or bottom end knackerd? the engine seems to be still really fit though.

cheers Jay
