ive almost got the engine out , should know by the weekend what the damage is , thanks

you sure that rad is bolted down ... bottom could just be on spigots ?

Tanks off, you are gonna make hard work of the job if you don't I'm afraid, its not a big job to remove them, quick fluid change whilst you are doing it. That way you can get the exhaust easier too. At least that what I did on the last one I worked on. Also i'm sure you've gathered it's footplate off too and then the steel upturned U shape holding the pump end of the engine. When you split the pump from the engine, best to check the plastic coupler mounted to the flywheel it has internal splines that wear. The steel coupler on the pump less so. There's the auxillary hydraulic pump mounted at the fuel injection pump that's much easier to work on with the side off.

if i new what i was doing i might have taken the rocker cover off first before removing the engine issue found , thx for help

Most of the system is gravity fed so not a great problem! Do the job we will sort oil problem after xxxx

Taking a step back, have you pressure tested the cooling system?

Could I also suggest a load of de-greaser?
It's so much easier to work on when it's clean and you can see what you are doing.

I’m pretty sure the core plug under the rocker was suggested in a previous thread?

shovelhands you are correct , I shoulda just taken time and worked through that one, I was convinced it was best just to haul it out and get a good look, m on a positive side I now have a better understanding of the workings of a dumper , thx

absolutely not ... unless you spread its lip again with a tapered drift of the right dimensions ... it will have shrunk to the block size going in first time and won't want to stay in a second time unless it gets expanded again .. can be done if obtaining a new one is difficult ... I have done it on a Saturday afternoon to get a motor back together and back in the next day ... Rover V8 .... kept a large stock of 'em, after that episode

It’s easily done, getting ahead of yourself and missing a few steps! We’ve all done it I’m sure, I bloody well know I have!
Main thing is you’ve found the issue

Chuck it in the freezer….

Find a large self tapping screw, or a self drilling roofing fixing, something like that. Wind it into the plug and lever it out with a nail bar or even a claw hammer.

yep, replace that too ... the edge is what keeps it put and if the edge is protruding, 's only a question of time .... needs to be below the surface at least a mil. ... check them all

and if it's mega tight (which it should be) tap the one edge/side in, until it rotates in the hole and lever it out on the lip ... try not to put any bars in the hole and risk damaging the hole's face ... they're machined

Also wouldn’t hurt to change the rest while you are at it. All of them will have been under pressure from the ice potentially disturbing their seal
