63308, Help ASAP about block
Posted by pensport, Nov-18-03 02:00 PM
im doing a complete rebuild on my motor (upgrades for turbo) there is two small oil holes on the front and rear of the block (tranny and timing side)well when looking at CAPS it shows a plug on the timing side but not the tranny side so i was wondering if both holes are suppose to be plugged or not..

thanks in advance!

Yes, both holes need those plugs. YOu can get them at the Dodge dealership. Use some sealant on those plugs too, because they like to leak..

hahaaa, nice!

Any machine shop should be able to get freeze plugs for that too, they can do it when they machine and clean your block.

IMO he's not talking about freeze plugs.

He's talking about the small threaded plugs on the ENDS of the block.

We need to see pics to be sure, but as I recall, they should all be plugged. The only functional holes in our block are for the oil dipstick, oil pressure switch, crank angle sensor, and knock sensor.
