I finished removing the cylinder head yesterday evening, instead of removing the exhaust manifold I disconnected the downpipe (saves standing on my head in an engine bay). When I lifted the head off load of water poured out of the manifold!
The head bolts were not really that tight, I would say the same as a wheel nut! But the head gasket is really degraded so I guess I could put it down to this.
Guess which cylinder had the leak to the water jacket?
