Re: Engine block drain tap/passage

Hello
Yes thanks we did get it sorted, we didn't try the citric acid.

Re: Engine block drain tap/passage

Thanks I'll take a look at the citric acid!! I see, it's odd we don't seem to be able to get the wire to anywhere but straight in regardless of the shape it's in. Looks increasing like more serious surgery is required :( , I suppose if we take the engine out to get to the rear core plug at least I c...

Re: Engine block drain tap/passage

Thanks, ah I understand, using a drill worked by hand I believe we have cleared all the way to the end of the pasage, but don't seem to be able to find where it joins the main jacket when poking around with the wire.
What system flushes do you recommend?!

Engine block drain tap/passage

Hello, I know this subject has been covered in several other threads and I have read through the ones of can find but the problem does seem rather puzzling.
