    Anyone tell me the best way to block off the oil dip stick access hole on the side of the roller block, I am using the timing cover dipstick access seeing as the roller oil pans won't work with the Mav. frame, now I need to seal a hole?

    Thanks

    All good ideas, I'll use one of them for sure, the tapping sounds the most secure so far
