You have a point, but the whole engine is steel and aluminum in interference fit. I could use mild steel, and press it into place. I'm hoping someone has been in the same situation and has a great solution to relate... Statistics: Posted by DIS295 — Thu May 02, 2024 7:49 pm ..read more

I was just thinking of the metal mismatch and corrosion potential. Statistics: Posted by schrader7032 — Thu May 02, 2024 6:25 pm ..read more

A nice interference fit works since aluminum always expands faster than steel with increased temps. I get the impression that the plug is there to control and direct the "slung" oil into the feed holes of the crankpin. Very little stress on the part. I'd hate to reinvent the wheel here, especially if others have already, or have a source for said item, or think it's not necessary..

I can't help much, but aluminum embedded in steel? Statistics: Posted by schrader7032 — Thu May 02, 2024 5:33 pm ..read more

I have a new crankshaft that was not supplied with the plugs for the crankpins. I assume these are required, but since they don't seem to readily available, I'm thinking, should I replicate in aluminum, though I have none to work from. Thoughts?
