I believe those were for knock sensors, they stop at the steel liner.

Phil;

 

I don’t know what mounts there in the auto application, but there is no hole through to the inside of the rotor housing.  Just leave them open; or, if you find it convenient you can use them to mount something.

Bill, Tracy:   I have just now noticed that the 20B rotor housing has a treaded hole about an inch above the upper spark plug hole.  There appears to be a small hole at the bottom into the rotor chamber.

    What is this for?  For aviation use, should it be plugged?  If so, do you know what size thread is needed?

Phil
