engine came back out for me to "minimise" cooling system.....turns out I could remove 10 water junctions and 4 hard tubes.....a lot of them were to keep the plenum warm in winter motoring....well they were the ones that were fouling so they have now gone and and flow route has been changed a little, that now done the engine went in without a hitch, apart from the customary wiggle wobble jiggle to get the gearbox primary shaft to engage the spigot bearing in the crankshaft.
Its in.....yaaaayy
