Hi tom
The reason for all this work started with the failure of a oil seal in the injection pump, over a period it leaked fuel into the sump thinning the oil.eventually leaking out of the crank oil seals into the bilges. So the pump required repair ---the engine oil seals are suspect---and i had no idea how long the motor had been running on thin oil. so a total inspection was in order--Sometimes I run this motor continually for 3 days, so it must be right. also it gives me the chance to do other work,like the heater plugs, and a rewire of the engine room/hole, etc.
Hi steve
The part that was jammed in the head did not have a thread so a normal drill worked OK.
And Sasquatch. happily plan "A" worked so B&C are not required.
Best regards to all Brian.
