jeffer949 Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 Im building a l28et and im converting it to front sump. I've already drilled everything and I know what im doing there. Wanted to run how im sealing the oil galley off. I the picture you can see my new pickup hole and dipstick hole. I have already put a Welch plug to the left of the small hole and plugged the old pickup. Next im going to put the aluminum plug i made that has a npt plug inside of it between the new pickup and dipstick hole. When I tighten down the npt plug it will spread the outer wall of the aluminum plug and seal it off. I will theb back that up with another Welch plug. Im almost sure it will work but I wanted to get some more eyes on it to make aure. Because if it doesnt work. Ill suck air and take out the bearings. Any recommendations on a sealer I should use if any? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffer949 Posted 4 hours ago Author Share Posted 4 hours ago Well. The above mod worked and its now front jumped. Had to make a new dip stick tube and then I started on making an adjustable cam gear. Turned the inner bore out and faced the rest so ill have a good flat surface for the aluminum inner hub to bolt to. I realizing noone answers questions on here anymore and people just use it for documenting their builds. Its really sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
