Well we think at the moment its water seals as when under load on the open road in top gear the cooling system is pressurizing and blowing all the water out the overflow. It got so hot that the water turned to steam haha. So i will be pulling the motor out next weekend and dropping it to the boys at PPRE to strip it down and see what im in for. Hopefully the housings are still sweet as they are the expensive part of the build aye. If the housings are sweet it could be a straight forward build only needing water seals and o-ring kit
