In preparation for an engine rebuild, I wanted to get myself up to speed on drilling/tapping the oil galley plugs.
Search revealed conflicting information about whether all should be removed and tapped or just the five big ones. What's the current school of thought on this? Also, what size plugs and drill/tap will I need. Thanks! http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...=103988&hl= |

I'm building a 2270 for a World member now.. Last week I removed his 5 plugs. Of the 5 3 of them were in tight, one came out while drilling a hole in the center to extract it, and another basically fell out in the ultrasonic cleaner just from a bit of case expansion and sound waves.
Behind those were some really nasty crap, some of it was 3/8" deep and packed in the tight turns right behind the galley. Pulling these plugs, and threading the case to accept the 3/8 NPT plugs is simply a must. |
