Core plugs

I’m sure it’s been discussed before, but does anyone have any tips or advice on fitting new core plugs to an S block ? Thanks Dave

Hello

Use a socket fit it and some loctite 648 to avoid any leaks

Do the same, apparently you should drive in on the outer edge on the S type plugs which just swages the edge in my experience.

I have always fitted them with a smear of Araldite round the edge. Never had any issues.
