Rich,

So I see !

Last year I had to restore a jeep which had been laying in a museum for many years, but prior to that, had been driven from India to the UK. When I went to survey it initially, the warning signs were stains all over the engine compartment. It was unbelievable the amount of scale, sludge, etc that I had out of the engine, mind you, had to strip it out and turn upside down, the rad was severely blocked as well. My suspicions that it had been filled with ditch water during its travels were confirmed as apparantly it suffered overheating problems in India and a failed waterpump in Iran.
