[QUOTE="998cc, post: 120182, member: 125"] Thanks, Oldhaven. It's a '53 engine. However, the front head is an early one which lacks the cast-in vertical ribs, and it does have a few areas of porosity. It has remained more or less dry over the decades, so I don't think that is the culprit in this case. The muffs are new components sourced from Coventry Spares. Interesting point regarding blocking the oil supply to the cylinder wall. It seems others have one this as well with success, so I will do it if need be. Best regards, Russ [/QUOTE]
