Water Jacket seal

How bad is this ?
Looks like I have a leak from the waterJacket.
Can I use Wynns Radiator stop or is this a strip down and rebuild ?
Any help appreciated

Re: JK hub cap puller

Hi Rob, got that but do you just pull? Or does it lever?

Re: priming carburettor

Hey LLoyd,

I wanted a 60mm drop but I do have a camper & westie lean doesn't sound good ! does anyone else have this problem? any pics?
