Well the the 2.7 engine in out ( head is cracked :x ) even though it went like stink!!

The older 2.3 is back in and running, sounding very sweet.

Just not got the time to test before going to brands this evening.

Didn't completely work.

It did stop the water getting into the oil but was still using water.
I think my head was very bad.

It may work for you, if you want to give it a try:
