Day 2 - Lets Begin

The first problem I wanted to solve was the exhaust header leak (or what sounded like it) so time to remove the headers. Getting them off was pretty easy and I was pretty surprised that I didn't snap any header bolts. Although there is some nasty rust on those headers. 


Those exhaust ports could certainly do with a clean up, and really the whole engine block needs scrubbing down.


So I think this was the culprit. That first exhaust gasket looks like it's not going to be doing it's job so it's likely that was not creating a decent seal and leaking exhaust. Next task is to order some replacement exhaust gaskets and clean up those exhaust ports ready for the new gaskets to create a nice good seal.
