is this where I say hello to everyone?, Hi thankls for allowing me on your site I promise not to move it or sell anything I also promise never to wear white socks and sandals.

 

I have a 93 xj40. so far the mods I've done are, added 25mm to the guards, added a front bumper spoiler, removed the rear bumper and reshaped the rear painted the car Matt Black and burnt orange.
added a whale tail to the boot. tinted windows and replaced the wooden trim with carbon fiber.

But I need help..

I have just replaced the head gasket and engine bolts. ... due to a blown head gasket.
From the sump i removed 25 ltrs of oil and water, after a trip to Auckland.

after putting it all back together I've got water getting into the rear 3 cylinders. and lots of it..

My question is what have I done wrong or what have I m issed.
do I have a cracked block. or have I just connected a water hose to the inlet manifold
