Galley Plugs, Which ones? Options

[Chad911sc]

While I have my engine out to fix my crank, wanted to do all the things I didn’t do the first time. I want to make sure I do all the galley plugs that are necessary to prevent one popping out and losing my oil pressure. Several posts on this forum say just to do the five, and some other forums say, to do many more. I got the main five out, and they were really in there! It took many pulls on the slide hammer to remove them. Surprisingly enough, my galley’s were spotless! In the bottom 2 pictures, my question is, do I need to remove these smaller ones up by the oil cooler? And also, what about this big one to the bottom right of the oil pump housing? Do these need to be removed and tapped as well?

Sorry Cabman,
If you meant when I bought the car it was running…yes. I’m not sure if the crank was bent then though, because it had 10lbs at idle. But truthfully I never drove it more than 3 miles before I tore it all apart. I drove it from where the shipper dropped it off, to where I live. There is no way it was even close to hot temps by then. Hard to know. It might have gotten bent from it being dropped or mishandled at the machine shop when I took it to get checked. All I know is I’m on the right path now to put it back together for hopefully the last time.
