Hi!

Has anybody tried Vizards recomendation of improving cooling on cyl no 4?
A pipe from the water hole plug on the end of the block to the heater take off (or a hole in the end of the head).
Is it worth doing?

oh, off the topic, but i will need to drill mine for my mini when the engine goes in, is it a case of just basically, drilling it through? Or is it a properly machined process? Also is there a way to connect the pipes arround so that the heater is still connected and everything, but without a heater tap? Im trying to lose alot of the visable pipes thats all, and my heater tap is always on full anyway as i have no pull mechanism. Want to be able to do it wihtout compromising the heat loss. Thankyou!

just drill it out with a 10mm bit, might be an idea to use the hoover to suck the bit of swarf away as you drill. worked for me!

Alex, you will find although the water hole is not drilled, the threads will be tapped
