there seemed to be a leak coming from my water pipe, so i took some parts of, and filled it back up with water,

holy shit! there is water squirting through the left hand side of the block,

its coming out of the side of the head, through the 2p piece (i think its called a breather blocker?)

can this be replaced?

please help

 

lol take it u mean a core plug mate, there piss easy to change and are a cheap thing too

 

really!

well its just come back from the garage, ive got a feeling the might have slipped with a screw driver as the hole is exactly like a screw driver hole!

were cani get this plug from?


and more importantly, how the hell do you get the plug out?

 

if its under eth distributor u poke it on 1 side with a drift (or sumthin that wont poke thru easy) and tap it with a hammer, it should then spin round a little so you can extract it (there only press fit) then pull it out, clean teh hole get another plug (halfords and the like dont usually have em but motorfactors and that sort of place should) stick a little sealer round teh edge and with a suitable sized socket and extension knock it inplace nice and square,
eh voila

dont knock it too hard tho u may damage it or lose it

 

opps reading again if ur sayin left hand side is cambelt end then it may be abitch to get to, u may have to move the in the way bits 1st (thinkin on it i think teh cam pulley will be in teh way, mite be able to work round it tho)

if ur a bit clueless get the muppet that poked a hole in it to change it for free

 

yea its on the cambelt side, ive already moved the cambelt and top vernier pully out the way,

whats behind the plug? could i put something through the hole and pull it out? eg, a bent screwdriver!

and any recommendation on sealant to use?

thanks 4 the help so far, Terry

 

nowt behind it mate, just the water jacket where the water flows, nothing really there to damage

could pierce it and pull it out with a hook i spose i have done in the past, i just pref the spin it round approch

sealant wise sumthin engine orientated like hermatite i spose would be best

no window mastic mate

 

how you spin it round? hit it on 1 side? then hook it out?

 

yeah

 

il let ya know how i get on tomoz!
