Curiosity of the day,
Someone on the mgs list recently reported fishing something like a ten
penny nail with oversize head out of the water jacket of a MG engine.
Reason for it presence was a mystery, maybe intended to be a sacrificial
anode. Well, I just went through a similar experience, but not so much
fun... <<snip>>
Same here - I fished something the size of a 10-penny nail out of a B head.
It was too corroded to recognize - but it was definitely a machined piece
of something - not just scrap or slag. If I recall correctly, one end of
it was actually threaded. ' Can't imagine what it was or how it got there.
It was a struggle angling it out through the thermostat opening - so I
doubt that it could have fallen in there accidentally.
