ok ive read the faq about the update.

i did the loop over the top of the eng for temporary fix til i had time.

now that ive posted the "cold weather" thread i think im gonna go ahead, and make time, with the relocation.... so i can be sure of better water drainage.

my main question is: do i have to remove the head or can i just put some grease on the drill bit and on the tap to catch the shavings?

any advice would be greatly appreciated.

p.s. im an auto mech and understand the importance of clean passages and know the ignorance of too many shortcuts, just wondering if anyone has done it without removing the head without any probs.

Re: tell tale

You don't have to remove the head but be careful. The water jacket is only about 1/4" at that point. Yes, the old grease trick works well.
