spineless Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 I started final assembly on my 383 stroker and I am having a heck of a time getting these plugs in without destroying them. I have an '86 block and I assume 1/2 inch plugs are what I'm supposed to be using. any suggestions ASAP would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbhsbZ Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 I assume you are talking about the plugs that go behind the cam gear. Go find a 1/4NPT tap and some threaded pipe plugs. The factory uses expansion plugs and stakes the block to make sure they don't come out, but the threaded plugs are a better solution, and easier to deal with when it comes to the next teardown. Tapping these holes should be standard procedure with block work at most machine shops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
