While using the 4T recently it suddenly started missing and pressurising the radiator.
Cracked the injector pipes and found the miss on number 2 cyl.
Upon removing the injector this is what I found.
Not sure what order these photos will appear but the first photos should be of the pre still in the head with the injector removed showing the leak.
The next should be with the pre removed showing the junk in the cooling system and coolant sitting on top of the piston.
Then the chamber hole and piston cleaned up ready for the new pre.
Photo of the outside of the pre showing the erosion hole and the specially designed tool for removing the pre.
"New" pre and seals.
Pre ready to instal.
With installation of the "new' pre the engine started easily and problem solved.
Some of the regular BB users have seen this problem many times before but reading some of the posts we have a world of people who have never experienced this sort of thing before.
Hope this is of interest to BB users.
And of course we have Conrod sitting on the seat giving moral support.
Andrew, K.
