External lubrication- cracked rear plate
Recently cracked my rear plate. Thinking of going with external lubrication and still running the cracked plate. Anyone have experience with this? This is a street car.

yes racers do it but the engine is built for it.
blocking the internal passage has to be done on the engine while it is apart, you can do this to save cracked irons but the requisite of tearing the engine apart to block the passage will always apply. it's cheaper to just replace the iron and fix the problem, but as a safety measure it isn't a bad alternative, especially for drag racers where it is extremely expensive to call it quits early due to failures and oiling down the track and having everyone give you dirty looks.
