[Fot] oil galley plugs

[Bob Kramer]

Once upon time Charle Runyon made a big deal about having reproduced in 
stick form the oil galley plugs for the ends of the TR4 and TR6 blocks. I 
couldn't find them in the online order system they provide and they did not 
appear in any of the Glovebox catalogs I have on hand so I assumed that TRF 
sold them out and didn't replace them. I now know that they still make them 
in sticks of three, Part numbers are PU1404/3 for the TR3/4 and PS1103/3 for 
the TR6. Why they didn't make them in pairs only Charles can answer. Luckily 
I have a leftover and since I'm building 2 engines a new stick will take 
care of my needs. I know that the plugs are not pipe thread, but I do not 
know what they are. apparantly it is fairly easy to rethread them to pipe 
and use a recessed head plug, but I'll stick with the OEM approach.

I'm not certain Bob, But I believe they are just an aluminum plug that is
oversized and driven in and peened over.  I would suggest replacing with a
brass pipe taped plug and file or grind flat a steel plug pipe taped that
has a slotted head to save the filing operation.
