MMMers
Have any of you had the experience of removing the oilway plugs in the
crankshaft?
On the PType there are four. On mine two aluminum, two steel. In Bob
Jones's article in Malcolm Green's MG Road Cars, he states, it's one of the
most important jobs in a MMM rebuild.
Having had a bristle brush down through the oil galleys, there seems to be no
sludge build up what so ever. Having already purchased the threaded bar
[Mike Dowley] in aluminum {only] I question if the removal of the plugs is
necessary. The machinist here in the States doesn't have the required tap,
should any mishap happen during their removal. What's the thread size on
this? How many of you were fortunate to unscrew them? How many of you
decided to leave them be?
My conrods came in yesterday, from Carrillo. Three month waiting list, but
well worth it.:):)'s
Any input appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian Kelly.
