Bugger!

I'm losing coolant and my engine is lubricated with salad dressing!!!! :cry:

Was gonna swap the engine for my 'big 6 conversion' anyway, but with 12 days till Christmas, I wasn't planning to do it so soon!!

Oh well, bah humbug!!! :violin:

Have a good Xmas everyone! :cry:

I would do, but knowing my luck I'd probably dump the mayo on the road, then skid into a lampost and total the car! :(

Make sure you have a good crack tested (including the cam bearings) spare head available when you change the head gasket if it's a 6 pot.
