[Fot] Blocks

[tony at tonydrews.com]

We typically would pull the freeze plug looking thing out of the hole  
in the side of the block and use that large vent opening.  Not enough  
venting causes oil to leak out of all possibly places, especially  
later in the season when you have a bit more blowby.
