the verdict is in
one of 3 things happened asa result of the major one !
Firstly the oil retain bolt went and oil spewed out everywhere , causing overheating where the head has cracked and the oil cooler blew at the same time ....
as stated by the service dept .....good news is i have a new crate motor going in and should be back on the road in 3-4 days .
the bill of said operation [covered under warranty]
Motor $14250
Labour $2200
Oil cooler and assorted hoses sunderies $2230
so now i just have to wait

That is good ( :? ) news. 
But will anyone hazard a guess as to why the oil retain bolt ( :?: ) failed?
