Hi all
Going to be putting a Metro 1275 engine in the clubman but the head does not have the heater valve hole.
It has the threaded holes for the studs so can i just drill it out or is there another way?

Thanks

Tony

you can fit a sandwich plate to the thermostat housing have have the heater pipe come from there with a later type in-line valve
