TR6 Casting plugs aka freeze plug size TR6

[TR6oldtimer]

My eyes are not as good as the once were, so does anyone know the size of the casting plug size on the exhaust side of the engine? I measured 1.5 inches. Also the size of the plug for the rear cam journal, which I have at 2"?

Also, a list of plugs and sizes would also be helpful.

Thanks

Ray, I've got those numbers/sizes somewhere. Just let me find it.

Here ya go. I knew that we discussed this here before.

Freeze Plugs for TR6

Thanks Paul.

My original post referenced a TR6, when in actuality it is a TR250 engine, not that it matters. Anyway, I once again checked what I have, and the five plugs on the side and back, are actually 1.5", not the 1.375" as indicated in the reference. All the others are as specified.

That's odd. I bought the 1.5" for mine, per the Dorman catalog and had to return them and get the 1.375" to fit. And I didn't fit them, the machine shop did. Maybe the earlier castings were bigger?

Strange indeed, 1.5 is what they were.

Very strange indeed, but after your piston story, maybe not so strange after all.
