[DML] Re: Fixing holes in aluminum...

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Have removed the intake manifold to find every recess full to the brim
with oil. This stuff is coming out under pressure...

Most likely area of damage is the plug closest to the timing chain
cover (other plug is TDC index access, not under pressure). I have no
idea what that plug is for. Factory literature does not address it. If
it is damaged, must be significant to allow water in by gravity alone.

All the other recesses are holding oil, so I don't think any of them
have holes after all. 

Recess with the plugs isn't holding oil, but it also has no lip on the
timing cover side (those are the rivers of oil I observed pouring put
by the water pump). Could have drained there, or could have drained
back into the block. Spent most of this afternoon diagnosing a clutch
problem (see other post) so I don't know yet. Didn't really know route
of oil galley until I got back to the house and looked it up.

If I can't engineer a carb onto my other block and get it into the car
before Pigeon Forge will try to patch this one.
