Did you install it convex out?

By Dave Shoe - 05/24/2004 8:20:56 PM; IP 216.243.176.34

The cam end-plug is installed backward from the coolant plugs, in that the "bottom of the cup" faces out, and the inside of the plug is toward the cam. The plug is specially designed to install this reverse-from-conventional direction. This assures the cam center cannot contact the plug unless the cam is really whacked out.

I installed my first cam plug backwards, but replaced it properly prior to assembling the engine.

The factory used a tool to install it correctly. -- Dave Shoe, 05/26/2004
