Coincidentally I am in the exact same position having tried once to knock in a core plug, failed due to the obstruction of the dynamo, made a foam plug wedged between the aluminium and block to hold back the failed plug. Worked for 50 miles and now leaks again. I have stripped off the bonnet, radiator and shell and in the morning will mark distributor position and remove dynamo. This is complicated by the new copper oil filter lines passing OVER the dynamo on route to the new pressure crank. I will also scrounge for the largest welsh plug I can buy to fit the hole, and give it one central heavy hit. What type of sealant here is advised?
Other blocks here have a screwed in welsh plug which seems like a good idea, so far I have been unsuccessful in removing one. I intend to mix up a brew fifty fifty acetone and ATF and try again.
I too will be interested in the collective wisdom on this thread.
