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= |

Had to. This got way too dramatic over WD-40. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/av-419.jpg) I know...like wow....I even said it might not be the best. One thing that gets me is is someone say there is only one way, my way and then tell you the expensive way to do things. My "right way" is often the cheapest way to do a good job. It's never the only way or the only right way. So to put the money where my mouth is.... The number 1 cylinder flywheel side is the only plug you should worry about getting flush as it will hit the flywheel. Best is to cut a thread, check with a plug and repeat till you the plug is flush to the case. Attached image(s) |
