[Fot] TR2 Cylinder Head Studs

[Stutzmans]

One of the many modifications made when the 68 hp. Vangard engine was being 
modified for the 90 hp. TR2, was changing the block casting so longer studs 
could be screwed deeper into the block.  The block was cracking at the 
original short stud holes.
So, good luck Mike.
