Has anyone seen an incidence where a early TR3 /4 block had to be thrown out
due to problems with the head bolt stud hole. I am really worried about
messing with this stud that my dad braised to the block up the early '60s but
on the other hand, Murphy dictates the fillet is bound to eventually cause
head gasket problems eventually.
Seems like at the very least it should be able to be welded up and re-drilled
and tapped but it may be naive on my part.
This local machine shop is talking about a ceramic insert that is "glued in"
but I don't have the nerve to believe him.
Thoughts or referrals, I am ready to build but need to get pass this one...
Thanks,
Mark
57 TR3 vintage racer

Yes, lets hurry to increase the unsprung weight on all four corners, that
should be good for an increase in cornering power. (HAH!!)

Imagine the flywheel effect. And if they don't work out you can turn
them into really trick lawn darts.
