O POOOO

now it seems the TZD need a cylinder head as on running the engine this morning its spewing water out the exhaust,

this car has been parked up since 2007 and i was planning to put her back on the road at the end of the month,

so has anyone got a good TURBO cylinder head south east preferably going cheap,
don't mind if it need valve work and skimming

well i thought i would try running her up to temperature today,

its amazing how much water/condensation could build up in the exhaust over several years, with the car just being started to move her in and out and around my workshop,

i ran her till the cooling fans cut in and out several times with no more water out of the exhaust, and the header tank calm after the fan cutting out each time,
