markbg Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 signalled the end of militaryodyssey for me - were not sure what happenwd yet but whilst driving down to odyssey we noticed a very loud humming noise coming fri the engine bay this was the followed by clouds of white smoke or steam coming out of the engine bay - on later inspection it looks like the water pump belt has also come off plus the coolant system has a bad leak the good news that was the last show i was going to do apart from lee's end of season bash - maybe be able to get it sorted by then anyway i had a good season with the Fox - he'll be back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tankdiver Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 White smoke is usually ahead gasket or cylinder head or block. Same happened to me last year,the cylinder head is a bit heavy but is not to hard to do. Laurence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
