The TR2/3 parts manual has the part number for the lead wire to be fitted
under the head nuts/washers.
Been away, catching up; email me if you need it.
Hope that the block is not cracked into the stud holes, but this can usually
be sealed too.

I just replaced the head gasket on my TR3A again, this time face side
down, torqued heads to 105 lbs, in steps of 20, torquing twice each
step. Sprayed gasket with Permatex copper spray, got it good and
sticking. Warmed it up, then re-torqued again, after backing each nut
1/4 turn.
To my dismay, now have cooling fluid coming up studs #10 and #4 ..
haven't peeked under the valve cover to see if any more. Main leaking
is from #10.
I have heard about lead wire seal and cooling fluid sealing .. what are
the thoughts of the List group ???
