Oil gallery plugs...installing Freeze plugs as well.
Can I do this in my garage?? Or does a shop need to install the plugs??
If I can, how do I go about it?
SAM98WS6 if you still post here...I saw you mentioned scanning in the shop manual directions. Would that still be possible?? I saw you mention that in a much older thread.

I`m in the question side also.
also there is a small plug for the oil gallery that "the book" said to JB weld all over it, I will also rivet the sides (strike the block with a small chisel to make two-three ridges of interference to stop the plugin its way out, just in case)
the freeze plugs are threades, just make sure you have a good thread sealer.
the oil plug install carefully with a mallet and a socket whrench,
its not hard, just use judgement with the whaking!

Anyone have pics of the plugs??
I used a GM parts guide to determine what I needed. Thinking I might have gotten too many of one thing here.
Also...any pics of where each goes?? I want to be certain!!

6.0L from a truck.
This is on the pass. side head.
Note the plug in the front near the driver's side skirt.
Driver's side block, 3 plugs
Pass. side block, one plug
Keep in mind, some plugs MAY be missing or not there, So take these pics with a grain of salt.

Anyone know those part numbers??
This is basicly the last step to really start to work on this motor.
I need to get all the plugs in...attach the oilpan, rear and front covers...install.
