Just a question folks. If you flip a cylinder block over, there are eight ( rubber plugs blocking the ends of chambers that are open to the outside. What is the function of those plugs...is it merely to keep dirt/detritus from contacting the base gasket?

If I understand correctly, those are there to dampen vibration, so the aluminum cooling fins don't ring.

If pro is opposite of con, then what is the opposite of progress?
