The first thing to sort out was his engine, as it was clear the water and oil had mixed and there was a problem with the head gasket or the water pump.
It turned out the chain reaction was the thermostat had packed up so that meant the engine cooling fan never came on so the engine ran hotter than it should of, this in turn caused the water pump seals to over heat, so they got destroyed and hey presto one engine oil and water mixing point.
As it was, when Phil (tiff) got the engine apart we replaced the head gasket as well, we also had to replace the cam as well cause when the engine had been run with poor cooling the heat had took off the outer coating from one of the lobes.
It all went back together fine thanks to Phil’s time and patience, if Mrs Phil knew how long he sent working on that bike for me her Kitchen would have been finished two weeks earlier……..cheers mate and I owe you big.
