How to Assemble the Front of a Small Block

My engine had the galley plugs and the drip tap and that was it, no bolt with the hole or slinger. So while I had it apart, I did a mod, which I found on this website. Drilled a .015" hole in each galley plug and drilled two holes in the thrust plate, in front of the galley plugs, and added a slinger.


Something to think about.
Hope this helps.
