Hi Dave,

Thank you for your quick reply.

In the meantime, I was right for the water pump:



Now, could you please explain me how the cooler ended up in the piston #1?
I want to be sure to eliminate the problem, looking at the image, since the piston is wet on the upper part, is that the area the coolant was leaking in?

Also, to clean the body of the cylinder head, any arm in using diesel oil?
To me, it has always been the most effective way of cleaning gunk on anything.

My car is a B200FT which I think means a B19 engine, and those valves impressed me for lack of wear.

Thank you,
Alessandro
