Its a 12a from 1978 that i just rebuilt, i have no clue what these 4 holes are for the first picture is the exhaust side. The second picture is the sparkplug side.

It's a throwback to the early 70s. Probably to be backwards compatible for motormounts in a chassis we didn't get in this country. They lasted up to the nitrided R5 irons like what you have there. Later irons didn't have them.

Plug them? Why? They don't lead to anywhere.
