Wisely or not I have it in my head to install a TR3 breather pipe on my 
late TR4 engine.  Have any of you managed to remove the metal plug from 
that hole on the side of the block below & behind the fuel pump?  Item 
#49  in this illustration:

Failing that can someone who has removed or replaced one of these with 
the engine out of the car suggest what I am up against trying to remove 
it?  Access isn't bad but also isn't straight-on which is what would be 
ideal.

Oh, my reason for doing this is that that skinny little crankcase 
ventilation tube to the air cleaners seems an inadequate replacement for 
the ventilation provided on the earlier engines as evidenced by oil 
oozing out around the filler cap, air cleaner connections and other 
places.  Have tried a variety of gaskets and adjustment to the filler 
cap but still get a messy leak.

Thanks for any advice.
