I walked in the garage and immediately knew I had a problem. Here's another clue. Can you identify this little part?

I had to do this on an aircooled Vanagon engine once. The motor would have to come out. The Vanagon in question came in for a leak and I noticed that one of the rear oil galley plugs was almost out, but wedged between the case and the rear mount bar and leaking (you could see about 1/8" of shiny plug showing)
What I did was tapped it with grease on the tap. Then I used an air gun with a long tip. I stuck the tip fairly deep into the galley and the air blew the stuff right back out the hole (at me, so be aware). It worked well and I did all the main oil galley plugs on that motor just to be sure. You would not believe just how easy those things come out. . . I use steel hex plugs with liquid Permitex thread sealant to seal it all up. The Vanagon is still on the road and has logged about 40K since the repair almost 4 years ago. |
