Sounds to me like the head and block surface are not sealing properly, i.e possibly warped.

Ricky, if you Dremmel it flat you'll save your self a few quid mate.
Chin up lad.
cheers wallace, i think were even mate lol
what happening with yours mate?
I'll hopefully get the new engine in today, I just need to get the shafts out the hubs as I'm replacing both boots and then put the gearbox on the new engine and its good to go in.
well, heres some weirdness..... took it for a test. i knew system was a bit overfilled anyway so expected some to blow out. it blew out from low to high in the overflow. - now may car runs a sard expansion tank kit also... the expansion tank sits empty. the rad isnt full to top but not far off. the temps seem to stay fine amd even with endless hammering afterwards no more coolant has been pushed out. very strange???
Doesnt sound strange to me..the radiator was fucked
Hope its all sorted anyhows.
