I've got a freshly rebuilt engine and am sure the factory oil galley plugs
did'nt get replaced with threaded plugs. The engine is not installed yet- is there a way to put plugs in yet or is it too late? Is it going to require a teardown and reassembly? Thanks in advance, Rezron |

I'd really say that you're SOL on threading the hole and putting in plugs while the motor is together. Lots of chips going into the oil galleys and nonsense.
If it were me - I'd put some JB weld behind those plugs to help hold them in - then cross your fingers and toes. Of course, the right way to do it is to tear down the motor and drill/tap the galleys... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) Tom |
