extra holes in engine case?
I recently picked up a type 1 engine that was apparently rebuilt to go in a plane. It has three extra threaded holes in the case around the pulley.
Could they be for a bypass cooler, and can I plug them |

Probaley a universal case that can also be used in a type 3 as they mount the engine hanging frame from those three holes as a type 3 doesn't have
chassis horns as such
Don't let body work get in the way of real suspension travel

Here is a photo. The two bigger holes are on the left and right, the smaller one is down the bottom

should be fine as they are only mounting holes for a brace.

Yep, as the others say they are for a rear engine mount bar. I've got one of those crankcases in my bug at the moment and I didn't put anything in
the holes. They're blind holes in the casting so they can't leak anything.
