Abstract:
A method and device for sealing holes in blocks such as hydraulic manifolds, engine blocks and the like is provided and includes a sheet with a plurality of holes therein, each hole is designed to receive an insert of a particular size and each hole corresponds to an installation hole in a block or manifold such that when the sheet is aligned with the block/manifold, the insert can be pressed into the installation hole and expanded against the wall of the installation hole. The sheet provides protection against damage of the block during installation of the inserts therein, which may be accomplished with a pneumatic hammer.
