Blown out core plug next to starter motor.

[Jimbo]

Put the new core plug in today and filled it with water and hey presto no leaks
Tomorrow I will change the water for antifreeze and run her up to temperature.

Something I will have to admit is my compression tester dial was loose
So after Ptfe and securely screwing it back on I got 11.25 bar/ 163 psi across all 6 cylinders

So at the mo it's looking good.

Thanks to everyone for the advice
Hopefully I might make it to a meet soon
