Bob: The threads on tyhe plug are BSP, but I know know which thread. Last time
I had a block vatted the rear plug desolved. Ken G at BFE came the the rescue.
He stocks them in S/S with an allen hex on the end to screw them in. As you
said, the originals came in stick form and were cut after threading in. Kens
pieces will last forever, or at least until it doesn't matter anymore. Give
Ken a call.
Thanks - Ed

Once upon time Charle Runyon made a big deal about having reproduced in stick
form the oil galley plugs for the ends of the TR4 and TR6 blocks. I couldn't
find them in the online order system they provide and they did not appear in
any of the Glovebox catalogs I have on hand so I assumed that TRF sold them
out and didn't replace them. I now know that they still make them in sticks of
three, Part numbers are PU1404/3 for the TR3/4 and PS1103/3 for the TR6. Why
they didn't make them in pairs only Charles can answer. Luckily I have a
leftover and since I'm building 2 engines a new stick will take care of my
needs. I know that the plugs are not pipe thread, but I do not know what they
are. apparantly it is fairly easy to rethread them to pipe and use a recessed
head plug, but I'll stick with the OEM approach.

I'm not certain Bob, But I believe they are just an aluminum plug that is
oversized and driven in and peened over. I would suggest replacing with a
brass pipe taped plug and file or grind flat a steel plug pipe taped that
has a slotted head to save the filing operation.
