hey use in the block of 1.5L 1980.     Calling James Hansen we need you.   =
 Firstly the area under suspicion is the corner headbolt hole by injection =
pump. The cooling gallery can be inspected using the sun and a mirror ---I =
did that.

the hick  ehhh Hillbilly I am I figured a big hammer and a drift would go t=
hrough the wall to see what is what. Let me tell you fellas no way   ----It=

d nickel popped up in my head.---Now knowing that the Germans are sneaky --=
-the bolthole that broke at the other end ,the break looked like  pot belly=
 stove stuff.  So I beat the living snot out of that end ----same thing.

-at or about 3/4 inch.
