John, sorry. I share your pain!!

Ditto - sorry to hear that the gaskets didn't solve it.

Good luck - plenty of advice or experience about doing heads on here recently though.

Cheers

Sorry to hear that John, I had the same problem last month and was ready to pull the head off, received some sound advise from Julian and it turned out to be the Inlet manifold gasket. However before I fired her up I did remove the spark plug from the offending cylinder to prevent it hydro locking.

Good luck mate.
