You'd need to plug the second drain that is between injectors #1 and #2 and then have the plug machined flat with the rest of the surface of the head. Otherwise, the oil drain will line up with a coolant passage in the solid lifter block...

TD's are so hard to come by! And they ruined the block!

On the first hand I hate China. I also hate substandard parts. But when there are no more heads to be had.... then we have to have something to bolt on the top of our motor.

There's was a discussion thread on GTD regarding the guy selling that head.

All I have to say is with more and more of our cars going to the scrapper and more and more heads getting trashed by unknowing drivers crashing thier pistons into their valves, we need a source for new heads. If it has to be china then so be it. I guess amc doesn't make 1.6 heads, (anymore??).

Oh, it might be inappropriate for us to be linking to that guy since he sells in competition to Jack. He sells TB kits and other parts on his web site and in his E-bay store.

I don't usually remove links to ebay but he is a big diesel parts distributor, almost all of his stuff competes with stuff Jack sells,... so this time I removed the link... first and probably only time.
Doesn't mean people can't link to ebay.
