I've just reassembled an engine that was in a Tudor I imported from the US but not before I fished two chunks of cast iron out of the water jacket. Someone in the past 90 years has screwed the head studs in too far and broken out the bottom of the holes. What an idiot!
I sealed the threads with a little Permatex #3 to prevent water entering them.
