Many thanks to everyone that responded to my post about the aluminum plugs 
in the TR6 block. These are located directly above the oil filter and at 
the front of the oil gallery. What I have discovered is the following:

Plug above oil filter (TRF part PU1404) is a 3/4 by 16 thread (UNF), which 
I am replacing with a hex-socket set screw (SPAE-NAUR part 478-007)

Plug at front end of oil gallery (TRF part 118632) is a 1/2 by 20 thread 
(UNF), which I am replacing with a hex-socket set screw (SPAE-NAUR part 
478-001 or 478-002)

Anyone who hot tanks their block should take care to examine these two 
plugs, which in my case were "eaten" when the block was hot tanked. Removal 
from an old block was impossible without drilling and collapsing the plug 
with a punch.

Hope this information is help to others who encounter this problem.

Cheers, Mike Graham
