OK, I'm starting to work on the engine build for the metro. The head I've got has been converted for dry deck already. The question is;

or run a semi dry deck, get the advantage of the cooling and knowing if your head gasket fails.
What the mind can conceive the mini can achieve

Not difficult to convert the block. Or like Lee says 50/50 would work. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

As above, plugging the block is easy. I'd take advantage of the already converted head.

No need to touch the block as the holes in the head are already plugged. Just fit the output bit to the block and you are away. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

That isn't a true dry deck then though Andy. You get the cooling benefits (if there are any) but you still muck up your oil if the head gasket goes. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

Cheers guys. So as i see it, if i don't bung up the block, the risk is that if i blow the gasket, the risk is i get oil in water.

Phil. agree although you dont need to plug the block just add the water port and run it as it is and still get all the benefits you would just have to drop the water if you want to swap head gaskets Yes i moved to the darkside |

I think it's something to do with the tablet I took that I found on the pavement this morning whilst walking the dog!
