Re: 240z welsh plug

[Richard Clough]

Two methods for removing welsh plugs 1    If it is a concave plug that looks like it is recessed, hit it on one side with a small drift, so it rotates about 30 degrees, like a coin on its edge held between fingers. Clamp on to the side that swings out and pull it out, or lever it out from behind. 2 If it is a convex plug, punch a hole through it with a pointed steel shaft and then use the hole to lever it out.  This method is usually used on corroded plugs but is not recommended as it can lead the plug being driven into the block or the hole punch going through a cylinder wall, both undesirable outcomes.  Replacement is easy, just tap in after coating with sealant.   Before doing any of these things make very sure the water isn't coming from somewhere else, such as a FINE SPRAY FROM A LEAKING HEATER HOSE or a hose joint connection rusted out. ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard Webb To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, 18 May 2002 23:38 PM Subject: 240z welsh plug Hi list,   one of the welsh plugs on my 240z is leaking, its the one on the pasanger side closest to the firewall so it is farely easy to access, are these easy to change or should i get someone who knows what they are doing to do it?   Also I have the standard twin hitachis on it and was wondering whether it is worth reconditioning them or whether I should just get some webbers? its a pain atm to start as it just keeps dying like its starving for fuel...  And just another thing, sometimes you reveal alot of problems when you steam clean your engine :) I've had both heater hoses go on me... maybe this could be a vacuum pipe or something too?   thanx for you help guys   Richard --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
