Well, the good news is that after quite a few weekends of fettling the replacement cylinder head, water pump, carbs, ignition etc... she lives again[:D]
The only problem seems to be a dribble from the water pump when the engine is running but i will sort that later when I have tuned the engine properly (when the weather warms up a bit)
A few of the problems I found, blocked water transfer / inlet manifold pipe
Sooted up Carbs (must have been seriously backfiring to get this bad, I had to polish it off as carbcleaner wouldn't touch it
Second hand cylinder head supplied by Simon
and after I media blasted it in my trusty blast cabinet
