hay there fellas the deloom on my ute is well underway probs about halfway not to difficuilt

i found apon looking into the top of my rockercover over the weekend however its full of gunky moisture
still unsure if its a head gasket or not because there isnt any moisture on the dipstick and the radiator still have plenty of water and apeared to be running fine is there any possible chance its just the sidedraughts with no filters? or a bad sealing oilcap?
must be headgasket wouldnt it?

anyways i stumbled accross a worked a15 with cam and stuf done which comes with a 5speed gearbox 4 only 500 bux but inneed of a rebuild on the motor so me and the boys roadtriping to dunedin on saturday in the van to pick that up

will work out cheaper to get that motor rebuilt i would emagine than get a cam and stuff done for my one which was the original plan and now il be 5speeding haha

anyways what im after is how can you tell what the 5speed is out of what casing numbers do the gearboxs have?

thanks guys

'60A' is stamped on the side, floor change rear housing, will either be dogleg shift pattern or standard 'h' pattern.

dogleg 5spds came from early model 310 sunny 1400 sgx coupes(i think), and probly other models too.

'h' pattern 5spds came from a15 powered late model 310 sunny sedans and coupes.

im sure others will shed more light on this.

There is probably nothing wrong with your motor, water is a by product of perfect combustion, and an engine that doesn't get hot enough to dissipate moisture will accumulate moisture in the oil. So do a proper check before condemning to the srcap heap.
