Oil Galley plugs at Camshaft
Then call Chrysler idiots, because I see a lot of factory blocks with short pipe plugs there. Sometimes it's not about "makin stuff hard" it's about "puttin stuff back like you found it". Just because you haven't seen something, doesn't make it NOT so. You crusty old geezer. lol
And BTW, I've called Chrysler idiots on the phone many times. Some day, I'll tell the story of pushrod adjuster oil timing and how it's WRONG on every single W2-5 head EVER. EVER. I sent Chryler a detailed R&D bill in 2002 and IIRC it was over 12,000 dollars. It was itemized, with dyno time, parts etc all listed. Paid a lawyer 1200 bucks to go through my receipts and my note books to get the numbers correct.
After they denied my request for R&D funding, I sent the, another letter, from the same lawyer, telling them how chickenshit I thought they were.
The real issue is most guys don't see this stuff. The pushrod oil time Ping is way off and to this day, Chrysler hasn't acknowledged it, or even published a tech bulletin telling people about it.
Some day, if we ever get the chance to meet, I'll tell you a story about Pro Stock and how Chrysler was screwing people. I'd post it here, but I'd have to name drop or it wouldn't make sense. And god knows if I claim to know someone a shitstorm ensues of Biblical proportions.
It's a great story, and I got it, right from the horses mouth. I know the year and where I was when I was told. And the horse that told me the story couldn't tell a lie with a gun to his head.
So yeah, I've got some serious issues with what Direct Connection became and how Chrylser treats the people who try and race this crap.
