Engine was machined, new liners, pistons,rods, the works. Head seats valves springs the works. I assembled all carefully with advice.
Problem is that I have one spare pipe plug. I believe it is a 3/8 plug and has internal 5/16 hex. Before I installed the flywheel & clutch I removed the oil pan and carefully looked inside to see if there was a hole this plug would go in. Didn't see anything. I don't think there is a plug in the head, but I haven't taken that back off and don't want to spring for another head gasket.
Looking through many archives I ran across someone stating after rebuild they had no oil pressure. Two or three responses mentioned to check the Oil galley. I don't know where exactly that might be referring to ? There are several small soft plugs on the RH side of the block, but other than that I don't know where this plug might have been. It's not the Diff drain and level check plug nor the Hyd Resv drain either. Those are bigger.
I just can't figure why I have this plug and it has oil residue in the Hex end. It was with a bunch of loose parts along with the rocker assembly while I was waiting for the engine machining. Has anyone overhauled this engine and know if there is a pipe plug anywhere ??
