If you have the chassis no. and the engine no. you can go to the technical info section at the start of the forum and go to the decode your vehicle section and it will give you all the info on your car. I have entered your body numbers and this tells me your car is the 13,114 th car built in Adelaide, it is a single tone of Frankstone cream with Fall Red and Parchment Ivory trim.
Hope this will help, Jim

I had that happen to me once on an EJ I had, pushed water out the exhaust. THought it was a head gasket so pulled the head off, replaced it and put it all back together. Started it up, ran fine then filled the radiator and THE SAME THING HAPPENED  It ended up that there was a small corrosion hole inside the valve chamber of No 1 cylinder. Head off again, whacked another one on and voila  So long of the short, I have seen greys more recently develop holes in the head either in and around the valves (and the flat area of the head above the piston) must just be the age they are getting to. |

Difficult to tell entirely by the photo's but there is evidence of leakage between water jackets and cylinders in 1, 2, 3 and 4. Hard to say with others. It would be good advice to get pressure and crack tested and check for warpage. There is room for a grind as the thumb print is present.
