Gary,

 

Search under "Head stud size" back in 2013 in was discussed and a variety of fixes worked out.

I appreciate this topic is a little old but I wondered if anyone could help me?

Similar problem to the first question....blocked drain hole.

Disconnected battery as suggested and can get a screwdriver about an inch into the hole before it hits solid crud.

Happy to chip away but I wondered at what depth do I stop digging?!

Thanks

Tim

There's No 4 liner the other side of the block wall, not quite on the centre line so a little way in, clue is to aim any  prodders towards the front of the engine which gives you a little more space and when you get water coming out ...stop. If you've drained the water a different way top the block up again, it's a useful tell tale when enough has been removed.
