Thread: Core Plug size?

2l they started with the 2 piece water rail. the 1.6 it was still a blank casting at the back..

You win IOU the first beer at Blinman this Easter.
The other give away is the casting below the centre hole, if it was a 1600 would have a large hole and two taped holes for the breather, on a 2l spread bore oil filter mount.

It got me thinking about the siamese block that i have. The early ones were not blank castings, but must have carried over from the 1.6. it had the same breather pipe arrangement as the early engines. And the plug at the back of the block is a lot smaller also.....

Gota love the nice neat hole they knocked through the cast. Was tat one hit or two.
What is the serial number of your 2l blocks and are they from 80" or 86/107?

That was in a 1952 80" lived at Mendooran all its life 100% oridginal
Driven till it would not go another yard, then parked under a gumtree for 18 years. The hole was not punched but a clean casting hole. Drained 5 gallons of rusty water out of the sump. It had a high water mark 3/4 the way up the timing case. Eng No 26110096. Gearbox and diff No's all close to that No also
