[M&M Hado]

I'm crossing my fingers, but I think it will be fine.  Thanks for all the
input from everyone.

Mike

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.
