Just when it all seemed to be going well on a bit of ploughing I noticed a few droplets of water blowing out of the engine oil breather pipe.
I have also been having to top up the cooling water on an ever more frequent basis and it doesn't seem to leaking externally from the cooling system, radiator or water pump not does head gasket seem to be blowing.
The consensus round here seems to be that the cylinder water seals have failed.
Can anybody tell me how big a job it is to replace these and what it might involve. The cylinders look like individual units sat on the block. Never had it apart before, but done a few conventional type cylinder and seal replacements years ago on a Nuffield Universal.
Would the crankshaft need to come out or could it be done from the top and with just sump removal?
Any advice appreciated thanks.
