[Fot] Pure Water in the crankcase catch can

[Philip Gott]

Thanks for the private responses.
It is indeed the aluminum plug in the rocker box floor. Some solutions are covered in Kas’s “Triumphs” book. 
Does anyone have suggestions about how to remove that plug without first removing the cylinder head?
