If some of you mechanical gurus would look at the post with the same name in the Austin Healey forum I woudl appreciate any ideas/suggestions you may have.
I'd like to keep all the replys in one place so ideas can cross-pollinate!
 
Not sure where...but oil pressure is higher than water pressure.
Head gasket between oil port and water port. Cracked head between same. Cracked block between same. Water pump bolts separately to block, no spacer plate that is back for timing cover?
Seen it before, not LBC that I can remember, but could not find it (pressure tested heads, okay, just replaced block).
May be heat related.....crack opens under heat. You may never find it with a radiator pressure tester.
