They dissolve when the block is hot tanked. It is a common item; I am surpr=
ised the machine shop does not have them and did not reinstall them after c=
leaning the block.

They are core plugs, items 2 and 3 on the Moss website.

Perry,

Tap all of the holes for a standard NPT plug. Use plugs that tighten flush =
with a hex key. All of those plugs should have been removed for a more thor=
ough cleaning.

Harold

And don?t forget to seal the internal oil channels in the block, I?m thinki=
ng of the channel from left to right and the one that goes up to the cylind=
er head. When you clean the block all the puriosite in the cast iron is exp=
osed for the oil pressure, which is higher than the coolant pressure, and y=
ou will eventually end up with the deaded oil in water mess.
There has been kits in the market to do this from the usual suspects. Magnu=
s Karlsson helped me with my block some 15 years ago. We screwed in threade=
d pipes in the oil ways.
