Toby, The white paint wouldn't damage the engine but driving it without the cooling flaps opening would. This is what I was reluctant to try and do. I marked the rod and took it for a burn for about 30mins to warm it up and I'm just not sure if it’s opening. It still felt very hot under the deck-lid (Hotter than normal) and was smoking. When I look between the tin-ware the thermostat looks open but the mark hasn't moved. I'm going to have to remove the tin-ware and thermostat and see if the rod pushes up and down, re-do the timing, points and valve clearance and see if that'll sort it. I feel that the flaps are of a poor design as it’s a vital mechanical component but there is no real way to service them properly.
