workshop manual

[David Olivant]

As I stated the block is porous at No7 cylinder.
To resolve that is not such a simple, or cheap task! Added to this is that my cast Iron box is leaking and will also need to be rebuilt.
As newer 318 engines are not compatible with the older cast iron box, things just compound themselves. I have a Chilterns' manual for the engine/ box, but there are nuances when installed in a Bristol, this is why I asked for a copy or loan of a Bristol manual.
I don't intend disposing of the origonal engine box, but will investigate rebuilding them.
I agree that the push button change is great, I will look at retaining, but have my doubts initially.
