OK folks.....more questions... How does this all break down ??
Do all Tiger 260 blocks have three freeze plugs ? How about 5-bolt 289's ?
Are the first set of casting #'s on the blocks ( 5G20 ) a year, month, day
code ? ( maybe 1965, July, 20th day ? )
And what's the significance , if any, of the other numbers ( C4OE-6015E for
example ) ?
