between the timing case, and the head gasket at the right rear  where the main
oil gallery goes from the block to the head.  Never was able to isolate this
one on my '69 U20.

screws for the stud-and-nut combinations used by Nissan.  There isn't enough
thread engagement for machine screws, so the aluminum loses strength.
