Got confused looking at different diagrams in tech wiki. My apologies.

So are there 6 or 7 in total with the one on the head? Tech Wiki says there are 7 which has thrown me.

NO.all at rear of block, where gearbox bolts on.

Isn't the 44mm Cam and 50mm water at the front?

There is a water one at the rear? Is this 40mm?

back of head is 1 x 40mm
side of block is 3 x 35mm
rear of block water is 1 x 50mm
rear of block cam is 1 x 44.4mm ( its a odd size )

Thanks Ernie. I would like to leave the option to go up later if needed so would prefer 40 thou for now.

Quick question about Welch plugs.

Front has 2 - 44mm (Cam) and 50mm?
Side has 3 X 35mm?
Rear has 40mm?

Is this correct? To me it looks like the front cam bearing is 40mm and the rear is 44mm but tech wiki says the cam is 44.

What size is the H89 A14 Head Welch plug size?

+.060 pistons are also available.

Busy day today! Engine removed and stripped down. Looks all ok except bore #4 has a bit of pitting in the wall. Inspecting the head gasket around that area would suggest water has gotten into the bore at some point and it has sat.

The rear welsh plug was F**KED! Otherwise all appears to be good.

Hopefully boring out 40 thou over will clean up the pitting...if not, will have to get another block.

Hi Joe, I'd like to offer my services for the fabrication of the turbo manifold, I'd also like to invite you to make an offer on the EGI unit I have for sale, I need cash and I assume you need parts so please send me a PM, I'd be really keen to get involved!

Sorry to hear about the blue, hopefully you guys are still mates.

I'm happy to help. PM sent
