Thanks again everyone, in view of Tony’s and Steve’s suggestion that the gasket may be wrong I’ll take it all off and check. I have had the head and a gasket set on the shelf for a few years now, (marked HC head/gasket set). I can’t remember where I bought it but probably at Beaulieu Autojumble or A7 Rally...
I hope it is as simple as wrong gasket, although a bit embarrassing if it is, as not long ago I had a similar case of wrong gasket on a ‘27 side-valve Riley which delayed getting it back on the road for some months...
(See my profile - not a good mechanic. Maybe I should consider giving it all up due to Annodominitis?).

True satisfaction is the delayed fulfilment of ancient wish
