[Fot] Engine Plug Sizes, oil press pickup

[MadMarx]

I still have the heater in place and use it on cold racing days to keep my
feet warm and dry.
It is also an emergency cooling unit that enables you to have one more lap
maybe.

Cheers
Chris

Steve:
I do not block the heater valve port off. I have found that if you block
that
port with a plug it restricts the flow of water through and around cylinders
3
and 4. I normally insert a fitting with a nipple, and attach a short piece
of
hose routed to the heater pipe on the left side of the engine which comes
from
the water pump housing. On street cars I tell my customers to leave the
heater
valve cracked to aid in the flow of H2O around 3 and 4.
What is the lists take on this?
