[Healeys] Engine block plugs

[Per Schoerner]

And don’t forget to seal the internal oil channels in the block, I’m thinking of the channel from left to right and the one that goes up to the cylinder head. When you clean the block all the puriosite in the cast iron is exposed for the oil pressure, which is higher than the coolant pressure, and you will eventually end up with the deaded oil in water mess.
There has been kits in the market to do this from the usual suspects. Magnus Karlsson helped me with my block some 15 years ago. We screwed in threaded pipes in the oil ways.
