    WTB: Small plugs from 3400 block

    After getting my block back from the machine shop I noticed a couple plugs missing. Here are some pics of the plugs Im missing.

    The one isnt a plug, it's the oil pressure sending unit, but my sender is located in another place so I need something to plug that hole. I've never seen a sender located in that particular boss so hopefully someone has a plug.

    I need these plugs yesterday. I'll pay for overnight priority superfast airmail shipping, I dont care.

    Someone has to have a spare block laying around? Anyone?

    Chris.... Those are standard 1/4-18 NPT pipe plugs and can be found at any auto parts or hardware store. Nothing special. You can get them in steel, brass or stainless. Be sure to use teflon tape or thread sealer when you install them.

    www.mcmaster.com has stainless plugs P/N 4464K252 for $1.52 each and steel ones P/N 4513K322 for $.65 each.

        The one on the back and the other one on the front look like where the knock sensors screw in.

          The knock sensor is already screwed into the front in those pictures. And the crankshaft position sensor is already installed aswell. Those are spare plugs that arent used.

          Thanks CNCGuy, I'll take a look around and see what I can find. Any material better than another? I'd assume you want the same expansion properties so steel would be best?

            The stock plugs are steel but either will work with no problem. I use a lot of stainless but mostly for the corrosion resistance. Actually, I used brass drain cocks on the Minus One so I have the option of draining the block if I want or need to.

                    Oil pan was too dirty in that pic, so I replaced it with a new one... HAHA.. actaully no kidding it did get replaced but that was because I put a 94 beretta on on the motor instead of the 05 one that didnt have the oil level sensor or the right AC mounting.

                    She's pretty now
