    Excessive coolant pressure

    I used to get air in the top hose building up as driving around when mine had gone, was rock hard. Let cool, when I took the top cap off air would glug back to it expansion tank if I squeezed it. Then I would have to top up. I chased it round for ages changing heater matrix overhauling...

    OK OK So ive been in denial !!

    If the liners moving up and down in the alloy block that will eventually lead to destruction of the engine. You will get water in the combustion chamber and the oil bye bye bearings and everything. They are not wet liners as most know but the ally is that thin on some blocks this goes before...

    P38 Good, Bad or Ugly?

    If you get a V8 you will have to live in fear of the liner/block problem, I bought mine and three months later I had to get the block tophat job done. Sounds though you could probably do it yourself as I did, cost me about 1500 for liner job and parts to rebuild. I must admit though I love...
