Oil galley plugs

I’m looking for a previous post that explains how to replace the oil galley plugs. Does anyone have any info on what it takes? Do you need to pull the turbo to reach them all etc.


Thanks

Do you mean the plugs that are in the valley? The ones that are located on the heads?

Good Question

Well....I took the IPR out and put new o-rings in. I replaced the HPOP hose fittings and stopped one leak there. I looked at the turbo pedestal and it looks fine. I think I’m just going to try and replace the o-rings on the plugs next and see if that stops it.

Finding this leak has turned into a game of cat and mouse.

Thanks

I'm going to take the IC off and clean the top real good, drop some dye in and see if I can find this thing.

Thanks
