Simon, I'm struggling to understand your post...perhaps you could explain a little more...perhaps with a full stop or two as well!
E30 320i Convertible (1989)

Sorry Iv done the conversion I run up the new engine that I got off eBay
With no water in it to make sure it wolud run and was okay only for 10 seconds or so
Then when I come to the end of my conversion and then filled it with water power steering fluid and so on
water come out the exhaust headers so Iv got a new engine that I no is 100% good but it's doing the same thing. Is that better

Yes quite a bit it makes puddles but I don't get it I was running the car the engine come out of for 2months and runs fine and use no water its like a colossal head gasket problem but I don't see how it can be

yea that sounds really odd, i cant see what it will be without being a head gasket? maybe check the compression on all the cylinders to see if it is a head gasket?
