Pushrod tube block off Plug leak
« on: May 18, 2023, 11:00:20 AM »
I have small oil leak coming from the pushrod block off plugs. Anyone ever have to mess with this? If so, do you have any instructions/advice.

Here is how I did mine. I drilled & tapped the case between the two unused pushrod holes for a 6mm cap screw. I glued the O-rings on a 1/8" thick 6061 plate and attached the plates to the engine. No leaks so far.
