im gonna punch myself in the face if thats what it is
i didnt build the block so didnt know much about which port was for what. but because there were no feeds/outlets for the water pipes on the block except the actual water pump i assumed it was a water feed. but thinking about it now that might well be the feed for the right hand side rocker breather pipe..

cuz looking at it now it looks wrong doesnt it. lets just hope i havnt fucked the engine.

on the plus side because i only wanted to check that it ran for a couple of minutes i only put a couple of jugs of water in and didnt fill the water right up to the header tank. so as white as the oil was, it still felt thick like oil.
