Not long after I bought my first 100 back in 1972 I turned 21 and one of th=
e birthday gifts I received was a set of BSF spanners and sockets. I still =
have them.
Now I have three sets of tools. BSF for the Healey Saloon. AF for the 100 B=
N3 and metric for the Hilux, Mercedes and around the house. There are many =
variations of each for specific purposes.

All the threads on the 100/4 engine are BSF not Whitworth. Whitworth is a =
coarse thread.
However the wrench sizes are interchangeable. They are one size apart from =
each other.
The threads on the small plate are 1/4 bsf and the gen bracket is 5/16 bsf.=
Also look close there are some of the studs that go thru into the cooling =
system.

So, I am getting ready to install the head on my 100 short block. Made sur=
e all the intake valves have the new seals I bought from British Car Specia=
lists plus the new set of springs I already had for the valves. The two ma=
ting surfaces were cleaned with a white (finest grit) Roloc brush. I have =
the correct head gasket (copper faced). Tonight was the night to torque t=
he head down to the block. My surprise, for some stupid reason I only orde=
red 8 new head nuts. I managed to order the correct amount of washer for t=
he head. No idea what my pea brain was thinking. Also found out the head =
nuts are Whitworth (3/8") size. I have a Whitworth socket set, so tragedy=
averted there. I seem to remember someone talking about the water jacket =
blanking plate earlier this week. That made me look at the front of my blo=
ck. Three studs and an empty hole. No cover. I managed to find two blank=
ing covers in my stash of parts and a gasket in my gasket set. Woohoo, but=
no nuts or lock washers. Can someone tell me if these little nuts that I =
do not have are Whitworth nuts. If so, what size? I have a generator brac=
ket, but there are no threaded studs for the block or nuts to mount it with=
=2E Once again, Whitworth? The closer I get to putting this together the =
more stuff I find out I don't have.
