In the process of stripping the motor down for a rebuild. Can anyone tell me what the round plug like cover on the timing chain cover is for?
Is this normal on a Tiger 260 or is it something I've inherited from a different car/motor set up.
Photo 1 below shows the cover circled in yellow, photo 2 is a view from another angle.
Thanks
Lou.

Lou,
the round blanking plug that you have was for an early 221/260 timing cover which had a breather tube fitted,if you look in photo 2 you will see a hole in the front of the block which would match up to the breather tube on the alloy cover.
Later 260/289 engine did not have this on the timing cover.

Thanks David.
Were any Tigers fitted with the breather tube or did this pre-date the model.
Wonder how it came to be fitted to my car.
I'll leave it on for the novelty factor!
