Oil Passage Plugs
Laverda Dave:
Personally speaking I would remove the other two as well. If you found slurry being one plug there will probably be similar behind the other two plugs. I realise you may have to butcher them to get them out although you could try localised heat from a blowtorch as I did with mine and this will help to get them out. You may have to buy three new plugs if you are really unlucky but I would rather spend £40 on new plugs than £2000 on an engine rebuild if any trapped slurry or blasting media finds it's way into the oil.

Snap (but you got there first 😁). I think the opinion is to take them out!
Sesman:
Nurse Julie may be able to help with gallery plugs?
Laverda Dave:
They are expensive, about the price of a half bearing shell but there are only three plugs but 18 half bearing shells to replace if blasting media finds it's way into the oil!

I thought the other 2 were just under the crank and didn't involve any oil passage ways?
