rivets?

Maybe a simple question but the rivets that hold the engine plate on how do you remove them, and how do you put the new ones in?

Thanks[frame][/frame]

To get them out you have to drill them out and to fit they are just knocked in, The rivets are an interference fit in the hole.
The rivets are similar to these:-

Alright thanks what size drill bit just one to take the head off

To remove the head of the rivet you will need a drill either the same size as the dia of the rivet head or a 5.5mm drill.
To remove the remains of the shank of the rivet in the block you will need firstly a 3.5mm drill and possibly a 4mm drill to follow up.
