Was messing about in the engine bay today, changing pipes, cleaning up and removing the belt pullies and bits.

I then cleaned the face of the block and saw that it was a breach of cylinder to water system, its quite blatantly obvious when you look at the block:


Pot 4 bottm slightly to the right, its been fouled by exhaust gasses and the silver ring round the cylinder isn't constant.



Same again with pot 1, same place aswell


I've checked everything else, The water pump is fine, i'm not changing it because i can't be bothered. All the pipes are fine, the matrix is flowing freely, as is the rad and the water system in the block.

Picking the head up next tuesday :D Can't wait till shes back on the road, Driving the cav is soul destroying after having a taste of the XE.
