I had a cracked head on my engine,replaced it with another 81a and had the two replacement ones faced,put them on and started the engine as I filled it with water as the water filled up the engine got a miss,took some finding but this was the cause, another head is over being faced at the moment,but this time I crack tested it BEFORE getting it faced.

Still going fine, driving everyday unless it's rainin' bad. I might take it to our club run to York tomorrow (100 k's each way) , leave the Fairlane if there's a chance of showers.. I ain't cleaning white walls !
