WI Dave 05-30-2012 09:39:22 96.42.39.179 Report to Moderator	I'm still working on cleaning up my H for paint, and my latest issue is that after wire-wheeling the rust off of the water jacket cover plate, I noticed there's a pinhole in it. Can it be patched, or should I find a replacement cover plate? [Reply]   [No Email]

If there is a pinhole in one place, the entire cover is thin and compromised. And once he removes it and sees how rotten and scaly it looks from the inside, replacement is a no-brainer. Sometimes the baffles are about gone. AG This post was edited by AG in IN at 11:17:01 05/30/12 2 times. [Reply]  [No Email]
