Can anyone tell me if I am missing a coolant plug? I just built this motor, but think I am missing something as the cooland is draining straight into the oil pan. TIA

so your saying when you put coolant into the motor, it comes out those holes?

Those holes are for the oil pump that is not installed in that picture, can you give us the whole story on whats going on?

 

Yes, there should be a plug in the bigger red circle to the right..

 

Sweet can you tell what that plug is called or part number......that is the only thing left from finishing this baby!!!

 

I rebuilt this motor from the ground up, went to start and notice I had no oil pressure (15secs) shut the motor and started trying to figure what was wrong. I thought maybe I forgot to screw on the pickup tube. As I start draining the oil to remove the oil pan I notice the new oil is a milky white color......which lets me know I was getting coolant in the pan. So I took the front cover off and removed the oil pump to see if I was missing anything. I took the picture after the oil pump was removed and didn't pay attention to which hole it bolts too in the picture.....that is why I circled both.....I just need to know what the part name/number is so I can put everything back together and confirm that was the issue.

You are missing a plug. Its a press-in plug for the oil galley. Coolant doesn't flow in that. You've probably got a head gasket problem/cracked head or block.

 

Nice.....thanks!!!!!
