[ROVERNET - UK] Still blowing steam

First do a compression test...........that will give you a clearer picture 
of what might be wrong..........The rear o ring could have shifted and is 
not in the hollow or you may have accidently hit the gasket putting the head 
on...........Alot of weird things can happen but like i 
say...........Compression test it first.........see if any fluid vapour is 
on the bottom of the tester or drops of antifreeze in the 
oil............Realistically if it is blowing fluid it should not idle good 
and only run reasonably after warming up, albeit with less 
power...........Here's hoping it is residual fluid but then again pulling 
the head is not hard although a pain in the butt after just doing it



Good luck
