Re: Water in head
I just searched through your posts to get the information you didn't supply in this post, and got a little information of that it had set up for 20 years in Minnesota? And you had it shipped over to you in the UK? Have you had it fired up since you got it or are you just taking it apart because it was seized?
Were you told in the sale it was seized
If you had gas in the tank and left the petcock on, the carbs could have leaked into the cylinders and seeped past tje ring into the cases filling the cases with gas and oil so check the oil level for gas contamination.
You could also have head gasket leaking the water(should be antifreeze) into the cylinder(s)
