All the threads on the 100/4 engine are BSF not Whitworth.  Whitworth is =
a coarse thread.=20

However the wrench sizes are interchangeable. They are one size apart =
from each other.=20

=20

The threads on the small plate are 1/4 bsf and the gen bracket is 5/16 =
bsf. Also look close there are some of the studs that go thru into the =
cooling system.=20

The two mating surfaces were cleaned with a white (finest grit) Roloc =

remember someone talking about the water jacket blanking plate earlier =
this week.  That made me look at the front of my block.  Three studs and =
an empty hole.  No cover.  I managed to find two blanking covers in my =
