SO after doing a major Eng service & re-seal got the car back together & upon installing
the eng bay shift rod look up & see...a drip. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) After inspection looks like the front oil galley plug. Considering replacement "in-car". Anyone BTDT? |

No, this is the approx 1" one at the bottom nearest the Taco plate.
I thought if I removed the Eng bar & motor mount Id have enough access to avoid dropping the motor .. perhaps not. |

You might be able to do that one in car, it's a 8mm key threaded plug. try to remove it, clean and reinstall with a sealant. Worse case scenario, the key strips out, I'd do a spotless cleaning and rough it up then use an epoxy like hysol or JB weld to seal it from the outside. This is commonly done as part of a /6 engine rebuild. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-26-1391640646.jpg) |
