Hi guys...I'm just in the middle of my first engine rebuild....can I ask if these alloy plugs are really necessarily?.... I'm guessing not.  |

Absolutely necessary. They seal the cases after boring both ends for the shafts.
You probably by the sounds of it never new they were fitted to you cases?

I presume they just tap in? Yes. In fact sometimes the originals need a little tap after vapour blasting. Never had to fit new ones, but Iād be tempted to use a bit of locktite. Jon |
