Hi, I read somewhere that a hard copper tube could be fitted in place of the steel tube for the head-valve area oil drain. My car's steel tube is in sad shape, so I need to repair this when I install my NEWLY REBUILT(!) head.

I used electrical conduit. You will need to massage the ends some with a file. (I used my lathe) I made mine in two piece as my head was in place. If I remember right the hole in the head is slightly bigger in diameter than the lower hole in the block.

That's the one. I have access to a lathe so I think I see how to do this. My head is still off so I am planning ahead (oops...) for the reassembly.
Thanks
