gaskets and bearings fixed it. it didnt exactly do a massive amount of damage to anything other than the cylinder head luckily.

suppose i should never have fitted it at 2am in a darkly lit garage, but i guess i wasnt to know it was going to have sand under the plate inside it etc.

oddly, i now paint my own. with halfords cans.
