gday all
i have had my head gaskets leaking coolant internally so i took them off and they were corroded(in 84 wagon)and i got another set of heads off a later brumby model, gave them a machine and put them on,all is well there but i have a bit of a problem theres a pipe from the right hand head that leads to the inlet manifold(thats on the old heads)im going to blank it off but i cant find anything to do it with.its a M16 x 1.5 metric thread but no-one makes anything.has anyone done this before or got any ideas.i cant put the old pipe on cause theres no hole in the head to do so.any help would be appreciated steve

Too easy, just cut the pipe, crush it, fold it over, crush it again, all done.
