Well after a sudden increase in bubble count and coolant dissapearance I decided to take the heads off. You might think me paranoid, but I am familiar with the signs.

Found head gasket sealer everywhere. Had to take 10 thou off the heads to remove the warp. Fitted a new radiator and flushed everything out. It pains me the nice souls I bought her off just launched this stuff in and said nothing just to sell........

Well spotted, another V8 saved from the brink. I’ll certainly be checking for coolant bubbles now mine is over 160k miles.
