Camshaft oil feed

(1/2) > >>

B11sey:
Does anyone know how to remove/ replace the blank plugs at the ends of the camshaft oil feed channel on a 500 K0? I want to vapour blast but not confident about cleaning after unless I remove these plugs

Sesman:
Drill it, tap it, put a bolt in and slide hammer. It worked for me,  but don’t do that until somebody more authoritative comes along.

B11sey:
Thanks @Sesman. I was hoping to do that but how easy is it to re-seal. Is the plug just pressed and peened or is there a seal in front of it?

Sesman:
Just an aluminium blank pressed in.

B11sey:
Really useful info. We used the same method with copper to seal cooling circuits on mould tools but peened them really hard to create a seal. Hope I can get the aluminium to seal a bit easier 😅
