Folks need some help here . Had a alternator belt wrap itself around the crank and long story short wreaked the valves . Picked up a second hand head and got here going but steaming like a old train . One of the liners moved when fitting so I guess it needs sealed . Is there anyway I can seal these with the head off and avoid the sump

Yes it is possible to reseal the liners from the top. I know Russell of MGRoversolutions has done it.

Thanks for that . Finding it impossible to find out the procedure . Any idea folks as I'm nearing the end of my nightmare and don't want to mess up at the last hurdle

If a liner seal had gone, then you will get water in the sump, not steam, unless the steam is coming out of the oil filler cap!

Where is the steam coming from?

When i did my head gasket, I had steam from the exhaust for a few hours, as I presume a lot of water had gone into the exhaust, though not sure how!

It did eventually clear up, and not lost a drop of water since!

Also inlet manifold gasket, and of course head gasket, can case steam from the exhaust!
