I've read a few threads about the plugs, but there were some competing opinions, so I would like to ask for the latest thoughts.
1. What sealant should be used? One thing was clear - NO TEFLON. The most compelling suggestion was JB Weld. Is that a reasonable solution? 2. What kind of plug? Many opinions say NO to brass or aluminum because their head could be easily stripped. Steel was suggested. How about stainless? Any issue with the different expansion rates between the case and the plugs? One thing is clear - they should be replaced. Of the 11 plugs, 2 almost fell out. They were definitely potential sources of future leaks! Thanks for your thoughts! |
