Hope this is all correct. Some engine photos show the large plugs all the same (3 off).
But the online diagram shows one of the large plugs a little different and therefore a different number.
The other side of the block has one large, one small.

They are easy enough to spot when you know what you are looking for. Here is a little video on how to change them. Make sure you can get hold of some new ones first though, before you knock the old ones out!!

Before fitting new ones I would poke and prod all the crap out of the water jacket. and give it a good flush out with water. Then clean the hole in the block, dry it and then fit as the video shows.

I am super disapointed at the moment. brought my engine head into town for a clean and skim, and the guy pointed out some corrosion pon the head that needs to be fixed. looks quite bad actually. coupla spots are a miracle to not have blown, some other spots need adressing as well. won't be cheap to get fixed. am now looking for another head to put on it, else I will have to put a different engine in, I"m not happy at all. it won't stop me though

Gutted for you mate. Hope you can get it sorted, and cheap too!

Bad news mate! Like you said its probably easier and cheaper for find another head/engine!

so have done a little more in the past coupla weeks. am organising another head for my engine, so I can put that back together. just a little argument over the price now. he quoted me $100 for the head, and now he want $200 for it.

have done a little more painting of the chassis, and put the first coat on the steel dash. also did a little more on the rear brake conversion, it's just a lot of fiddling. spliced a trailer socket into the loom aswell. she slowly getting closer to being done I think gotta keep up good hope

So I've finally got my head. couldn't get the rocker shaft retaining screws out of the old one, so an engineer I met on a job did it for me. stripped the old head, cleaned the parts, and started to lap the valves into the new head, should be done soon hopefully when I get some valve stem seals.

organised my tax return, and got a nice little present, so bought some new tools. a new socket set, a grinder, valve lappers and a torque wrench

am very thankfull at the moment to all the people that have helped me along on this project, I've learned a lot so far, and I really apreciate it.

some pics, just cos we like them

yep, that is a kawasaki angle grinder, very good value for money they are too. you people not got them in the UK?
