seems like a great approach and wonder if the TR3/TR4 is not a candidate for
a steel block with new seal design. the current design is awful.

Bruce,
Check your rocker shaft. there is a bolt that sometimes come loose and falls
in the sump.
As far as the front mounting plate, replace it with a steel one. There is a
guy in CT. that makes them and they go for about 75 $. I did it when I rebuilt
my 6 last year. Cant remember his name but he puts them on ebay from time to
time. If you are a member of the 6 pack forum, try a search and I am sure you
will find the seller.
Bob
