On my 750 Spider Veloce I was losing coolant out the radiator overflow so I tried putting compressed air into each cylinder to see what happened. On cylinder number 4 coolant came bubbling out of the radiator.
I pulled the head and the head gasket fire ring, head and cylinder sealing surfaces all looked ok. I checked the liner protrusion and rather than .000-.002 cylinder protrusion above the block, I measure .003 below the block in one quarter of the circumference of the cylinder. I'm assuming this is the reason for the leakage.
Anyone know a cheap easy fix for this, or is the only answer to have the block machined?
Thanks,
Doug
