Two reasons, one is to supply oil to the chain and the thrust area between the gear and block, two is to blead air out of the system on start up. All big blocks come from the factory like that!..

| Quote (AZKC @ April 20 2005,12:09 pm) | The plugs I removed from the original motor had no holes. And I don't ever remember seeing holes in any BBC I've played with. Not that I was looking for them though. Do they sell them with holes cause I don't want to drill those SS plugs. Is it a common mistake, error, oversight to replace them with sealed plugs. Â  Â |
It is common to see that, a lot of first timers don't realize them and just put regular plugs in, in fact it happened to a friend of mine once, that was funny as hell. He didn't see those and when he put the motor back together he put one of them on the back of the block, what a surprise that was when he fired it up!.  Yeah you can buy them, they're not stainless though, any GM place should have them if not SCDC has them!.

Yes they do, it's just axtra lubrication. The main reason for them is to let air out at start up to prevent lifter clatter with hydraulics!..

I would DEFINITELY put them in, I've seen blocks without them and seen the thrust area on the block all fkd up!.. One thing I do to help lubricate that area is put a groove in the cam bearing from the oil hole out, works really good!..

Its going to come down to if I can find them in town. I want to button this thing up this weekend. I wanted to drop the motor in Sunday But thanks for the advice and wish me luck.
Remember when you tell a little kid "Don't touch that its hot" and the kid touches it anyway    |
Give Larry a call, bet he's got some laying around!.

Or you could save a lot of hassle and just pickup a couple of 1/4" pipe plugs at the hardware store and drill a .035 hole in them!..
