soon had him all sorted - also replaced his N/S CAT as the old one was not doing the job any more.

 

By now the Zed Shed was filling up!!

Then we ran a test on the car that keeps getting air locks

 

If the dye turn yellow you have a blown head gasket

There's more Zeds there than I've ever seen driving around! Great scenes. Where about, generally, is this place? I feel like as a Zed owner I should make a pilgrimage to worship there. Like going to Maranello if you're a Ferrari owner. :lol:

Bournemouth mate - always welcome to drop in (bring doughnuts :lol:)

 

@Dblock - it works by drawing vapour from the colant system through a chemical liquid that changes colour if hydrocarbons are present - I didn't get this one but the bay sells em

 

basically this - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLOCK-TESTER-UNIVERSAL-CYLINDER-HEAD-COMBUSTION-LEAK-GASKET-DAMAGE-TEST-/290937720560?_trksid=p2054897.l4276

Unfortuanate to get a head gasket issue unless its been cooked at some point

I agree, it's one failing thing we haven't heard very much about at all, Zmanalex also confirmed that they are not known to fail very often at all.

 

This engine has a complicated but mostly unknown (to us) history.

 

I was 98% sure it wasn't head gasket but this seems to say otherwise - we need to decide on the next step now.

 

I'm sure we will have more info in the next few weeks.
