65 Valiant Signet
Found out this weekend, after plumes of white smoke that my newly rebuilt motor is sucking coolant into the # 8 cylinder. Once apart and at the machine shop, found a small hole near the valve seat.
I know different / new heads would be the best answer, but being that I don't have the budget to do that at this point.. my machinist has suggested he may be able to put a plug in to repair the issue.
Anyone else had a plug installedto keep a cylinder head in action ?
Is it worth the 200 bucks, which includes the pre and post pressure testing?
