i finally got my motor and trans back in my car and realized that i forgot to put that cap that goes on the back side of the motor where the cam is.... i guess ill have to pull it all out tomorrow....

 

What made you realize it was missing? the cap in your hand?

 

actually i was tearing in to my old block removing the crank and pistons ect... when i saw it on the old block.... then i remembered and i checked in the trunk were i keep all my parts and sure enough it was there still..... so now i have a whole new project to start tomorrow... i feel like im never going to get her done..... but slowly i know it will

 

That sucks!!! Would it be any easier for you to drop the trany and install the plug???

 

All 6 of your oil gallery plugs are in too, right? 3 screw in ones in the back, 3 press in the front. You miss 1 and have 0 oil pressure

 

wow, that sucks,, I was just wondering if you had gotten the electrical system back together!.. [:@]

 

crap now you guys got me worried.... were do those other plugs go... i know the ones on the sides of the block are in.... the gold ones the size of a half dollar... what do the otheres look like

 

Smaller,, like 1/4" pipe plugs.... they usually come in the same kit or "card" that the freeze plugs come in/on.

 

Yeah, 1/4" plugs and they go at the end of the oil galleries around the #1 cam bearing bore, behind the timing gearunder the timing cover. If you left those out, even 1, you'll have no oil pressure. There should be 3 screw in plugs in the back of the block around the large press in plug you left out, like pipe plugs

 

where are they located on the block.... wiould they be behind the timing chain cover and in front of the bell housing.... if possible could some one find a photo...... now im worried... and i cant tell if there in there..... you see the block that im using i bought off of some one... they had work done to it.... when i got it... it had been bored over, the crank, pistons and cam already installed as well as the timing chain, the freeze plugs.... but i dont know about the otheres.... im guessing if they usually come with the same kit then the guy installed them already but i dont know.....
