engines in and running i only have one problem. ive managed to somhow in the process when fitting the engine found a small hole in the cylinder head pin size around the spark plug no 4. so omg what a waste of time im going to try a few things and see how i go

whats it leaking through the hole mate?????

is it water.....oil.........or is it in2 the combustion chamber itsefl


if its oil or water it can be repaired with that liquid metal stuff


if you clean it back really well....and work some of that ion and arround the hole.....it should work

we did sopmething similar on the head of 1 of our mitzi pajeros and it worked a treat.............its lasted nearly 2 years now with no oil leak
