both my head and block are going to be skimmed when they got to my machine shop so i might aswell dry deck the engine now rather than later.

I am thinking about drilling and tapping the waterways lock tighting some bolts in there and cutting them off, would this do the job well enough or is it too pikey? im trying to keep costs down as much as possible your advice welcome:)

cheers

Yes i moved to the darkside *happy*

How would you "normally" do it?

Plug and weld the block then get it skimmed???

Normally brass plugs are used (I think) similar to the ones use on the head.

 Is it A-Series only? I think it should be...
So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...
