I have all new heads and short block. I did not pull the old plugs from the old heads. The new heads only came with 2 plugs. I know the rear passages need to be blocked, but what about the bottom front. I know the one needs to oil the timing chain tensioner. I think I'm short a couple of plugs. What size are these? Also need the plug for the water passage in the head, what size is that? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks Josh

 

I have some from my old motor. Shoot me an email with what you need exactly and your address to spaceboy383@yahoo.com and I'll send them to you.

 

Thanks Chicken, I just got a couple 1/8 pipe plugs from Jegs. I am going to get the other from the dealer.

Glad you got it worked out.

 

From experience I remind you that if your using teflon tape for a pipe thread. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
Pipe threads are tapered and the teflon is only there as a lubricant. The threads taper and tighten to seal themselves.

On steel to aluminum I prefer Pipe dope or locktight or antiseize. Even plain grease if you plan on removing it someday.
