Heads are now off - bores look perfect and HG showed traces of a leak between cylinder 3 and the water jacket, no water in the bores so as I hoped only a minor combustion leak under boost. Plan now as funds are tight is to replace the head gaskets with Cosworth items, refresh the heads slightly as they're in pieces anyway and do a large amount of tidying up of the wiring/pipe work as the engine goes back in.
Probably going to reduce the size/capacity of the turbo to give a solid but fast spooling 400.
