Thanks Ali - Yes, I think it's probably that, or just oil spill into waterways when the head was taken off by the OP, but better safe than sorry.Could it be a previous head gasket failure not fully cleaned up?
Fingers crossed for you chap.
I'm told my LD crank has now been on a crash diet. It's down from 22kg to about 17kg.
Not as svelte as some, but a fair saving.
No photo though
I reckon I'll be going for this XTD flywheel and clutch. I read on hybridz.org that RB stuff can be made to fit.

yeah I saw it, it was a billet Crower 90mm crank I think. I wish they'd shown more detail on the block prep!I remember watching a video of Dave rebello being interviewed at his workshop. They were talking about the l35 and he showed the steel crank he was using.

I built a crankshaft box!
the crank is off to be balanced and offset ground. If I'm lucky I'll get an extra 1mm!
