[TR] TR head rebuild

[Wiard Pless]

My machine shop installed such a pipe plug into the cyl. head. Not the best looking 
solution but it works. Wiard

I believe the racers remove the original plug (which is cast in place), and
then tap the hole for a pipe plug or similar.  The leak very likely
indicates that the plug is corroded from below, so I wouldn't just ignore
the problem.
