Pull the rear main cap and MAKE SURE that plug is under there. If it's not you will burn the brgs out of it in no time. At some point GM went to TTY bolts and those should not be reused. I don't know when that change applies to the LTX. I always put ARP head bolts in the engines I build. You can tap the front of the block and use screw in NPT plugs. I did it on my 92 but on an LTX the outer holes are smaller than a normal SBC and that was about 3-4yrs ago so I don't remember what size plugs I used. I just scronged thru our extra stuff with a dial caliper and drill/thread chart until I found some plugs that would fit. Will |
