The original GM design would have used the
UNC thread pattern with a 9/16â?? bolt head.
The design predated metrification in the US
by a few decades. When Rover went metric,
sometime in the 80s probably, they retained
the US standard thread pattern while

<p><span lang="EN-AU">So, I
am getting ready to
install the head on my
100 short block. Made
sure all the intake
valves have the new
seals I bought from
British Car Specialists
plus the new set of
springs I already had
for the valves. The two
mating surfaces were
cleaned with a white
(finest grit) Roloc
brush. I have the
correct head gasket
(copper faced). Â
Tonight was the night to
torque the head down to
the block. My surprise,
for some stupid reason I
only ordered 8 new head
nuts. I managed to
order the correct amount
of washer for the head.Â
No idea what my pea
brain was thinking.Â
Also found out the head
nuts are Whitworth
(3/8") size. I have a
Whitworth socket set, so
tragedy averted there.Â
I seem to 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 stash of parts and
a gasket in my gasket
set. Woohoo, but no
nuts or lock washers.Â
Can someone tell me if
these little nuts that I
do not have are
Whitworth nuts. If so,
what size? I have a
generator bracket, but
there are no threaded
studs for the block or
nuts to mount it with.Â
Once again, Whitworth?Â
The closer I get to
putting this together
the more stuff I find
out I don't have.</span><span
