I have looked and looked and have not found any information.
Please enlighten us with this process. I have a pile of 3/8" aluminum pipe thread plugs TIA |

Now you did it by mentioning aluminum plugs which I’m highly in favor of but you’ll get differing opinions I’m sure. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)
You’ll need other sizes besides 3/8” to do them all. To install - heat the case - freeze the plug. Install quickly until tight. Let shrink fit take care of the rest. Don’t expect to be able to ever remove them. They will need to be drilled out. I think I may have had some info in my case machining thread for engine GA00099. Pages 3 and 4 have info on galley plugs but obviously completion of this engine job has been delayed by life, relocation, and need to build a garage. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...38513&st=40 |
