2.25 Diesel Core Plug renewal

Hi chaps been a while since I've used this section anyway, the first major job on the new series is the renewal of a rusty core plug so going to do the whole block set. The head ones I don't really want to touch, so where are these located and how easy are they to do ?


I'll have a look at my parts and service manual to see as well but was just wanting some first hand experience on how easy they are to remove/fit as my plan was to punch a hole in them with a hammer and large nail then prise them out with a large screwdriver before refitting using instant gasket


Cheers

dont use instant gasket ues loctite ,side ones punch in and lever out with molegrips on the edge of plug,rear one needs a cross chiseling in it to shrink it as will front , tap in so edge is just past bevelled edge ,further in than flush ,socket needs to be a bit smaller than inner diameter as sides will grab it if too good a fit

Cheers James, I'll get ordering from Turner Engineering

By tap in you mean hit one side down so it pivots and lifts the other up ?

yes if you look on the block side youll see which side has space between pots

Cheers, I'll get that done when I see it

Not going to be working on it for a two more weeks as its down south, I've got a clutch question too so I'll send you a PM
