It's nice to have a spare engine, however I always find it easier to
diagnose what's wrong with the old one while it's a runner. It may not be a
serious problem, eg a crook plug or dizzy cap, get a mate who knows engines
to have a look.
Most specialised radiator shops can do a leak down test, they may charge you
for it and then offer to take the fee off if you get it repaired there, call
one a check it out.

Should I get the head tested while it is still in the car? CO2 test out the
radiator is it?
I might just drop the spare L20B in. It's just been rebuilt recently, but I
didn't really want to drop it in because it's got an
"extreme" cam in it, which was the best description the previous owner could
offer...it's the biggest you can go he
reckons and is very thirsty. It also has a L18 head on it which I guess
bumps the compression up a bit...that would
probably be around 9.5:1 would it?
I will see how thirsty it is with the single downdraft carb anyway. Then I
can play with the head later.
