Blanking plate on head

Hi all. What is the blanking plate on the back of the head? Water or oil? Looking a bit second hand, so might swap it out. I will buy a book one of these days. Cheers, Rob
 
Yep, also be warned the screws are 10-32 threads if I recall correctly. They weld themselves to the aluminium head and snap off very easily if you're not careful. (Ask me how I know). In my case I had to remove the head, drill the old screws out and I replaced them with 1/4-20 screws, larger and less failure prone.
 
Right. It's not leaking, so I think I'll leave well alone for now. If I take the head off in the winter I may have a look then. As you say, easier to replace if the worst happens.
