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= |

When I did mine I got an extra tap and ground the bottom of it to use as a bottoming tap. I started the threads with the regular tap, then ran the bottoming tap in.
That way I was able to thread the plugs in without having to drill deeper. |
