At the bottom of the block there's an external cooling water transfer hose (10) connected to the block at each end by a brass right-angled nipple (5,6).
One of these nipples had become blocked - it was very hard to blow air through it. My dealer told me that the nipple was a press fit into the block and advised gentle heat to help it out. This worked and I unblocked it. After everything cooled down, I offered the nipple back up to the block to find that it was no longer a press fit - more of a sliding fit. The nipple must originally have been set in on some kind of goop - does anyone have any idea what I should use to set it back in again? Thanks in advance.
