Rocker Arm Shaft End Cap Freeze Plugs

[340inabbody]

Guy looks like the primary source of Mopar SB rocker arm shaft end cap freeze plugs are no longer being produced. Mancini and Chrysler dealers are all out.
I found a working solution that I wanted to share with you all. It’s a 5/8 cap with roughly a .235” height. Can get anywhere as they are a Doorman part. Doorman 555-011

Hope this helps anyone in need.

If you go to a good parts store/machine shop/repair facility, they may have a selection of both metric and U.S. similar to this.

Thanks. Thought of heading to Napa but they are closed. A good parts store/machine shop/ repair facility are getting harder and harder to find. They are disappearing faster than our dragstrips. I found these parts in stock and they work well. So YOU GUYS DONT HAVE to be waste your time sorting through bins and calling around. This I thought would be of value.

Absolutely, thanks. Just curious, were your shafts clogged inside?

Jerry, you would not believe all the crap I get out of slant six shafts.
But I know you small block guys take better care of your stuff!

This is a commonly overlooked item on engines with rocker shafts.
