Hi all

Just to add my pennies worth one of my old school engine rebuilders use to back in the day and still swears by it , apparently there is one floor to these engines when WORKING on them in this fashion is they overheat internally and to get round this issue is delete the water pump and fit a MGB water pump direct into the engine as it has a better flow rate and he reckons it helps out a lot and these engines can go faster longer with ease and that person has been doing these engines since the 70s I myself have no experience in this field so can only go on what he says .

Hope it makes sense and can be of some use to anyone

Kind regards
Robert.w
