Hi Forum Folks!
I am finally getting a chance to get my Lister project going after not touching it for several months. I have a couple quick questions, that I am hoping someone can answer for me before I get too much further in the project..
When I took off my valve covers, I noticed that one of the eight head bolts sticks out about an inch and a half from the nut, while all the other bolts are flush with the nut.
Please see the picture provided. Is this normal? Is this OK
See that one bolt sticking out? I am feeling like I have three nipples here!Also, When I took off one of the coolant flanges, I was shocked and saddened by the Indian Quality Control or lack thereof. I don’t know if it is poor casting, or what, but what looks like it should be a large diameter opening for water is sealed almost shut with cast iron. Please see Picture provided.
My Sphyncter is gafloogeled!Again, Is this normal? Is this OK? Should I bore this out and look for others like this on the other opening of the engine and fix them too? I want to install an active cooling system, and I suspect that this is not a good thing in terms of aperture size.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks guys!
