My MGB is running very well, but. The other day on a rally it started to
overheat. The temperature was in the seventies. I checked the rad and found
it was almost half empty and the overflow bottle was dry. I could not see
any sign of a leak. Since the refill there has been no problem. Since I
could find no sign of a leak I pressure tested the cooling system, there was
no leak and the pressure remained up. I removed the plugs and found 1,2 and
3 were perfect but number 4 was white. I have concluded that I have a water
leak into number four cylinder. It is not likely a head crack, it is
probably a head gasket.
Is my guess correct, and if it is will it do any harm to ignore it for a
month or so? The car is running very well, and it only looses importent
amounts of water when driven at speed on the highway.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
