Anyone else drilled into the water jacket on the stud hole nearest / just above the oil pump. It was my last one. I couldn't get just enough thread depth, so drilled a little deeper, and caught air...
Grrrrrr. oh well. Nothing a 3/4UNF insert won't fix. I'm just curious if anyone else has had this issue before in this location; it's new to me for sure.

I think some RV8 holes go through into water, just stick some sealer on it and never worry

speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will

Jim, Matt (and others?)
Do you use pipe sealer and ptfe tape or just pipe sealer?
I decided to leave it open after all.

Locktite 515 is good stuff. It's a flange sealant but works well as a thread locker too, good for sealing oil and water. It's about £45 a tube over here, but not so bad where you are. *wink*

We use the locktite 515 on all our threads at work that need sealing up, brilliant stuff!
