Head's off:
Cylinder's 2, 1 (1 on right), a fair bit of sooting on the piston head:
Cylinder's 4, 3, 2 (4 on left), some oil leaked out the head as we lifted it off, so has been wiped out of pot 4.
Cylinder's 5, 4 - the bits in 5 are some soot from the gasket.
Underside of the head:
Underside of the head, cylinder 1, 2 (glowplug on 1 is caked in white, so knackered I think), also looks to be some brown scorching next to one of the coolant channels on pot 1, dunno if that's burnt coolant?
Underside of the head pots 4, 3, 2:
Underside pots 5,4
Completely delaminated HG:
Pot 1 close up of the sooting:
Pot 1 after attacking the sooting a bit with scotchbrite and WD, coming up a treat:
The plastic dowels that were in, left is the back one:
And the next job to fix, broken chain tensioner guide:
Next job is to strip down the head.

gasket was leaking on no5 at least, was it pressurising coolant system, a clean piston compared to rest can be sign of coolant entering cylinder

That's the wierd thing James, the top hose wasn't rock hard, so I'm a bit stumped.

Ha, if you have one I'll take it, needs to be for 10P engine though
Let me know what you drink/what you want for them in PM...

Ah, Not sure if it was a 10p or 15p to be honest.
Don't want anything for it, So you can just take it and see.
Do you know the difference? I'll go find it and take a pic in a mo.

This look the same?
As I say, Take it anyway and if it's right it's a bonus.

Oh btw for anyone interested the o-ring on the vac pump oil feed can't be bought as a seperate part from LR, they try sell the entire feed line. Good news is the FPR pipe o-rings are exactly the same:

Can't believe how nadgered they got from some coolant, but then I don't know much about how coolant can retard lube.
Was nicely surprised to get a used matching set for 50 notes, was almost £700 for new.
