Gone and Blown it in Kent!

The garden of England my arse! Why do so many people with disco parts have to live in Kent? Bloody long hills to climb, only went there to buy a winch bumper for the old girl, ended up blowing the head gasket!
So spent most of today stripping her down to start sorting it out!
Thankfully havn't managed to snap any bolts yet, so doing ok.
I have got a little oil coming through the Turbo, is this worth trying to put a seal kit on or best to leave alone, if anybody has experience on this? cheers

sure it's the head? ... i thought it was and was wrong!

Yeh, pretty sure its the head, as soon as you top the header tank and rad up, turn the engine on and it pressurises it out like a shower!
So would have thought it definatly the head.
I will know for sure when i pull it off, as i have stripped everything off ready, only got the cam to take off and remove the rods then unbolt the head.

Found a couple of fish pools in my block!
Going the whole hog i've decided, new rad, cam belt, full head seal kit, getting the head skimmed, should be worth it!
Then i might get round to fitting the winch bumper i bought!!!!

Got the old girl all back together again, had a problem with getting the fuel pump timing as didn't have the proper tool kit, ordered one from flea bay, running as good as new again!
