Hi,
In the past I have paid to have gallerys plugged. I have another engine and think that this is omething I can do myself. So here are my questions. Three sizes of NPT pipe tap are required. 1/8, 1/4, and 3/8. Is more than one style of each required? Or can it all be done with a tapered or other style of tap? Should the plugs be tapered? If so where does one get such plugs? Or better yet a link to Mcmaster for the correct type of plug. What material? Where do you get them? Are any of the plug locations a problem, like the depth is very different that the others, or seating the plug too depp restricting oil flow? Enlighten me. Carlos |

I do it on all engines I do, use the NPT thread, it is tapered.
I use the steel plugs, you can torque them in better. As you tap test a plug to see if it's deep enough. If you look carefully you can see how deep to go. I use a dent puller to remove the old plugs. You can get the plugs at any plumbing supply house and most hardware stores. |
