Re: No Pressure
I dropped the pan enough to get to the timing gear. Once I removed it I found the center galley plug was not there. I took this picture showing it was missing. When I went to send the pic to my machine shop I noticed that the plug was between the crank gear and the block!!!! I think it came out during break in and the sprocket wedged in it there. Had to use vice grips to get it free.
The plug is marked 9/16 and the hole is not tapped. I don't want to tear down the engine so tapping at this point is not what I want to do. I don't think I can tap it without getting shavings into the cam.
I am disappointed that the machine shop only tapped one of the three holes. But thats water under the bridge I guess.
My question now... is this the correct plug and it just wasn't installed correctly?
Am I asking too much of a press in plug with a High pressure pump?
