RE: Did you install it convex out? |

This engine appears to have never been apart prior to me checking it out. It still has its original bearings in it as they are still good. The plug was however installed backwards by your description. factory error? I checked a 360 truck motor I have out (also untouched) & the plug is in the way you said. The only thing I can think of why it blew out was when I was installing the cam, I pushed it to far in initally, the cam tapped the plug & upset it. That combined with it being in backwards caused it to blow out. I cant see any other problem. I am going to drill 3 small holes in the block face around outside of the plug face, tap them, & install 3 machine screws with washers to hold the plug. I know its overkill but I dont want to pull the tranny again! Thanks for the input! |
