OK, so a bit of a setback...

Spent yesterday taking the engine apart. Took off the head and found that the gasket HAD been put upside down so spent a couple of hours trying to make sure the head and block were smooth and resealing it with gasket maker. Looking at the block, one of the cylinders is looking pretty oily so I think it might have ring issues too. Left it overnight to set and tried filling it up with coolant again today and...

coolant started dripping out of the carbie. F*ck. I took the carbie off and it's coming out of all of the ports... my best guess is that whoever had it last running blew the head gasket but ran it long enough to warp it (or crack the head), did a bodgy job of changing the gasket and then realised it was still stuffed and didn't bother going any further. Which given the oily cylinder is all I think I can do.

Anyone out there got a running A14 or A15 they want to sell me? The more complete the better.
