Two holer?
Finally finished cleaning out the worlds biggest under plenum mouse house.
Two drain holes under the starter?  When I drowned the starter in 1993 the dealer replaced it under warranty (more or less). While they were in there and due to the cause of the drowned starter being a plugged drain, he said there was a service bulletin that would allow them to drill another, larger drain hole next to the original hole. "So, you want to drill a hole in the middle of my engine block?" "Yes" "Has your mech ever done this before?" "No, but we have a template" "Alrighty then" You can see where he started the drill twice. When we blew out the hole from the bottom with compressed air it (and mouse detritus) came out the larger hole.=D> |

Re: Two holer?
I had heard of this back in the 90s but have never seen it.

Re: Two holer?
Not sure what is happening with the smaller hole now. I thought about
plugging it but see no harm in leaving it open. |

Re: Two holer?

Re: Two holer?
I've often wondered why one of our famously anal retentive ZR-1 brothers has not come up with a method of connecting a source of suction, (shop vac?), to the drain tube somehow so that you could wash your engine without drowning the starter.

Re: Two holer?
2 holer? Sounds similiar to setting Circle Zebra (air tight) in Olongapo.
