Flywheel 1/2 side plug still looks too proud and may touch the flywheel.


I will me watching for that on assembly, thank you for the tip!!!!


Time to fix this is now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Stick the flywheel on now, don't worry about a seal yet, check the plug and it will be hitting

You can grind a bit off the two ends of the plug, but only so much on the hex drive end.
The NPT thread is a taper thread so you will have to drill and tap the hole deeper, so the plug will sit in deeper. This is the hole that makes me prefer steel plugs, because steel has the strongest hex drive.
I don't like Teflon sealant (on plugs) as you could over torque and crack the bung, never seen this with the T4 but I've seen this with T1 cases. I use green locktite.



I did take some off the plug , I was touching the fly wheel, ground it off
