oil plug oxyboxer

[vanholle]

hello,

I'm Bart from Belgium,

I'm building an oxyboxer.

I have a little problem with an oxyboxer engine case.
I removed the waterjackets and now i can see a mark of a plug from an oil galery.
see the pictures.

do I have to remove it or can I leave it like it is.
I am affraid that it will pop out by the oil pressure.

greets

bart

That's directly off the main oil galley, when you start up cold it will have 80+ psi behind it. And you've milled away at least half of the plug. So what to do depends on how lucky you feel.

I pulled out mine on my oxyboxer project. Will put in a threaded plug instead.

a good reason to pull the other plug's also , to clean the galleys well.

thanks voor the advice,

I removed the plug.
