'56 TR3 alumimium head plug / plugs


Recommended Posts

My '56 TR3 has five aluminium plugs (four of approx 1cm diameter and one of approx 2mm in diameter) in the top of the cylinder head. They run in a line along the length of the head, with the larger diameter plug in the centre slightly offset towards the rocker shaft. Whilst I believe that the larger plug is normal, possibly sealing a casting hole, can anyone shed some light on why the head on my car has an additional four plugs ? For the record, I believe the head to be the 'Le Mans' type and the plugs have virtually dissolved over the years and are now as thin as tin foil !

Many thanks

Jeremy
