aye, engine was fine.. got me to the'ring and back plus some hot laps... notice water pump was shagged when I took it off during the rebuild... whether this had put strain on the heat gasket and it was on the way out anyway... the 6 month lay-off just accelerated the failure....

Well at least you have found the problem. After messing about with it so much lately you'll be well positioned to have the head off in no time, checked and skimmed, and back on with a lovely new gasket, bolts and belt
