I blame the pitifully small rad! Which will be coming out for a deeper one when I can afford it 
Got about 2" to play with before the fan hits the light bowls so I could fit a slightly deeper one and a wider one too in fact

well the gasket only seems to have blown on the bore side of the water jacket on pot 4 so its ok
I'm going to strip it down on monday night then clean it all up on the night and on tuesday morning as gaskets arrive then so I can put it together tuesday afternoon
(If I don't skim the heads, if not it can go back together on friday)
