58 352 rear cam plug popped out!?! By Paul R - 05/24/2004 5:37:10 PM; IP 149.174.164.20 Hi. I have a 58 thunderbird with a 352. I installed a 69 390 cam in it. I tapped the two holes in the oil galleys & converted to the 64 & up cam retainer. I also installed a double roller timming chain zero up. I drove the car about 70 miles & oil started pouring out the of the rear main area after I heard a grinding noise for a few seconds. The rear cam plug popped out. inspecting the plug, there are no marks that would indicate the cam was rubbing on it. Is this just a fluke or did something possibly cause this from the cam change? oppinions would be appreciated. Thanks!

This thread, so far...

Not sure of the cause. [n/m] -- Mr F, 05/26/2004  RE: 58 352 rear cam plug popped out!?! -- giacamo, 05/26/2004
