After arrival they needed so very slight modification and we were called in to help.<br />
Machine the holes in the base from 35 mm to 42 mm.<br />
<br />
Nathan and myself spent the good part of the day boring out four gantry bases.<br />
<br />
40 holes later and the job was done.<br />

There appeared to be no coolant in the engine oil, tests confirmed this.<br />
But still each day all the water in the coolant reservoir bottle seen in the photo below was empty.<br />
A pressure test revealed that there was a leak somewhere, especially when cold, the pressure dropped off fast.<br />
Only one option left, strip down the engine and find the leak.<br />

<li>Better coolant care could have spared the faces of the heads and the engine block.</li>
<li>There is no real quick fix for corrosion damage.</li>
<li>Long term and lasting repair requires the block and heads to be machined.</li>
<li>Maintenance along with the correct coolant can save a lot of money and time.</li>

<br />
The fastest and easiest way my seem to be also the simplest answer.<br />
<br />
YES - Bump up the hydraulic pressure in the system. Adjust the pressure relief valve.<br />
<br />
But is that relay the answer? What dangers lurk in bumping up the pressure on any machine?<br />
<br />
Well you be the judge and consider the evidence presented.<br />
