Don't try head-jobbing me Wedgy! It's too late!
I've seen you and those Scots take the lead and exclude us Ozzies - take that recent introductory "Hi" intro from JarrahC for instance.
However, in this case, you are right. Again. And correct. (Australia was right but is now more left.)
And for the newbies and less experienced, we Aussies not only hate Poms, we hate everyone. Nothing personal, it's just an insecurity thing.
And to explain, I have already written previously herein (or twincam?) about all the above, including Coriolis. (I mentioned my dumb pilot-license holding uncle in a nameless Nordic country that didn't know our weather patterns travel the opposite direction (high pressures rotate anti-clockwise), nor that our sun goes "anti-clockwise", nor that we see different stars at night. No wonder he crashed!)
Not that I have been known to ramble, much, but I like puns, and "challenges" etc.
But I'm not stupid. The fact that we are talking Piazza or Isuzu overrides anything else. It's not like we own a Trumpy (especially a modern 2-wheeler that doesn't leak oil, or drop conrods). (That's another brazen attack.)
But enough of your distracting mind games. I'm off to try to get our heroic former primeminister Howard reinstated. I'm certain he can be convinced about that threat from across the Tasman (ie, New ZealotLand). Imaging the votes, and boost to our "debt free" (sic) economy. Resistance is futile!
Back on topic. FYI - leaking water into bores could often be detected by cleaner or carbon/soot-free splugs (spark plugs) or bores etc. Coolant should be similar(?). But it may not always be detectable if only just started leaking, or if leaking oil is present.
When I compression-tested my cracked-head or gasket-blown 4ZE1 Jackaroo (Trooper), after a few dozen cranks water shot out splug-hole #3 some 3' (1m)! (It was a cracked head.)
But often cranking with all splugs removed will eject tell-tale crap.
Now, where's that pissant howard?
Cheers,
Peter.
PS - I had earlier posted somewhere that Jarrah's (ex-Joe's) Piazza - as I mentioned about 8" higher up - had been stripped & its shell dumped. Phew! He's got my air filter/box to assist with its roadworthy. He just has to figure out some air-hose plumbing, and maybe raise the exhaust.
