Thanks much for the info. A couple of years ago I was looking at a 62 with a new motor for sale. The owner described how his old engine had suddenly started spurting oil everywhere, so he figured it was time for a new one. Forgive me for what may seem like a stupid question, but would there be...
I'd like to hear a bit more about this potentially lethal problem point. Why can it spontaneously blow (Sounds like a hideous design flaw) and how do ya fix it? Do you drill it out and put in a threaded plug? Is there anything that can be done without taking off the head?
