I got the 54' 235 engine running the other day and noticed the press-in oil galley plug leaks. This is located in the front of the engine next to the generator. I ran the truck for a 20-minute break-in so it was good and warm and it still didn't want to seal.
I just now replaced it with another plug and it too leaks. The sleeve it presses into looks to be in good shape with no apparent grooves or scratches in it. My question is, should I try it again and coat the thing with some blue lock-tite, or possibly get a bigger size. The one that originally came out was 19/32.
Thanks for the advice.
