I just dropped my engine case off at the machine shop to get the cylinder registers decked and oil galley plugs pulled and tapped. I Already have the 3/8"npt steel plugs and was asked by the machine shop if there was a special reason for using steel ones over aluminum. He brought up having the two metals expand/contract at same temps., etc. and I had no other response than " that seems to be what everyone uses"... Soooo.. I don't really want to seem like much of a fool, but why is it that we use steel npt galley plugs vs. aluminum ones ????
Thanks a bunch, Mike |
