    Yeah, Doug the Donor Rover...
    Its a Series 2a, but I did give some thought, it’s got a Isuzu C190 or C230 in it, I’m not sure which. But it will move on to whoever wants it, one swb will do me.
    I feel the next project, if there is one, may have something to do with a 101... glutton for punishment I am.

    Oh dear... not good.

    are these hard to replace? Can’t work out why the engine rebuilder didn’t replace them.

    (screwdriver is for demonstration purposes only, I didn’t gouge a hole in it...)

    what I have done on my 80" is tap a thread to take a 1/2" water pipe plug , have seen it on other IOE motors as well . Once they are fitted you need to grind were the manifold surface is , it needs to be flat other wise you will brake the manifold when you will tighten it , I leant from experience .

    IMAG0994 (1).jpgIMAG0995.jpgIMAG0996.jpgIMAG0997.jpgIMAG0999.jpg I do have some alum plugs here some one in the rover club machined up but I don't know how you fit them as they don't have any hex head or screw driver slot in them, I believe the thread is a conduit thread. But don't quote me on that.

    Thanks 1950landy, excellent advice!

    the plug I got from Bunnings had the advantage of not needing any grinding, in fact with the manifold on it stops the plug from turning. Perfect solution!
