Bought a 90 EA81 brumby knowing it had a problem with water in the oil, took both heads of and found holes in welch plugs sent head for skim, pressure test, valve stem seals and welch plug replaced all looked good refitted new gaskets head and intake manifold stripped and renewed oilpump o ring and oil filter. Started ok ran for 30secs stopped checked oil water evident drain oil again heaps of water, checked inside each combustion chamber all ok ran again briefly water coming from push rods. what have i missed? ( heads torqued as per manual) Also has anyone got a good picture of which standoff bracket goes where the one that hold pipes etc out of the way Cheers Andy
