I just finished cleaning the galleys on my 1776 build, but I pulled all of the aluminum galley plugs on the case and used some long handled bottle brushes to scrub out the sludge. There was quite a bit of dirt in the passages, so it was worth the effort. I turned some new aluminum plugs on my lathe with a .002” press fit and used green loctite. Flushing it with solvent is probably just as effective, with a lot less work. Have a Happy New Year!👍
I've done cases before having all the oil galley plugs pulled. I normally have the case drilled and tapped for a thread plug. I'll do that I think the case is questionable. This case was clean inside and all the galleys flowed clean. Owning a lathe must be nice 😀😎 maybe some day.
No problem thanks for watching. Here's a funny thing, I am watching a video of a guy who talks about cruising on Ships and he just happens to be in Australia right now lol. Happy New year 🥳
If you've ever removed all the factory galley plugs you would find some with a very long aluminium plug on the number 4 pulley end main bearing. This closes off most of the drilling leading to the bearing. This could be why you had a restricted flow from number 4. This may be deliberate by the factory so as to not have as much oil spraying next to the unsealed pulley. I haven't seen a failure solely at this bearing ever in an automotive application, so the lesser quantity of oil here is probably ok.
Very cool. Yeah, the Moon Buggy had some plugged oil galleys that’s for sure. I noticed a couple cool stickers on your air compressor too. 😁 Happy New Year to you guys!
Thanks for calling them galleys instead of the incorrect term galleries, good video !

This is probably the reason the guy that used to machine my cases told me not to mess with that bearing 😎

Yes, stickers are cool. I'm hoping to have some cool art work soon so I can have some of my own stickers 😎
👍 Happy New year.
Great video!!
Thanks buddy 😎🚗🚘🚗🤠
