so ive just spent 2 days waiting for my A15 to be completed (after like months and months of waiting) and I put everything together in the datto and ive forgotten to cover the water outlets below the twin webers. water drips everywhere.

does any1 have a better plan than to simply screw a screw into the holes, hacksaw the end of it off and then file it down until its flush ??

A15 twin webers 11:1 compression stage2.5 cam bored 1550cc engine which leaks water.

i know youre predicament, i put my whole engine in, stuffed around for like 3 hrs trying to get the inlet to clear the extractors and then when i filled it up with water, it starting dripping everywhere. just drill em out and tap em to 6mm and get two grub screws and loctite them in. worked for me

thanks kegs ill do something much like that and fix the dam problem. took me ages to get the manifold (redline again) to sit happily by the extractors too. if i cant drive back to sydney today im dead my boss already wants to chopsuey my ass cuz this car taking so long. engine reconditioners are SLOW.

To save it popping up again, remove head, remove manifold studs. Get the water galleries welded up. Then get the manifold face (of the head)machined flat. They will never bother you again.
