(The two rear ones under the manifolds).<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>No way to access them from above and I very much doubt if it can be done from below though I haven’t looked. I’ve got Webers and a big bore 6 branch so there’s not much room.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>OK, I’ll have to strip out the Webers and drop the exhaust; that’s a given. And, at the same time, I can do a few other little things.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>BUT, but....I don’t want to do it now. Not just when what we optimistically call our summer is just beginning.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I hope to keep an eye on the loss and last it out until autumn. (Usually summer starts in June and autumn starts about a week later so I may not have much time).<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I was thinking of putting some Radweld or similar magic goo into the coolant. I know it’s fairly effective in radiators.....might it work on the core plugs?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Simon<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
