Russel Aluminum plugs
« on: May 25, 2010, 01:15:13 PM »
What is the secret to get these things to seal ? this is the second time i will have to take them out to fix the leak, all parts are new so WTF!!!

I normally use the steel plugs but these looked cool, should i get the steel plugs and try them? are these aluminum plugs prone to leaks?
Im using them in my fuel reg and its leaking like a mo fo , i mean it made a puddle on the intake really quick :banghead: :banghead:


WTF!!!!!!!!!! ;D

I thought about it for a moment and realized ive never listened to or read the directions for anything. SOooooo with that i went and got some brass plugs and used my Teflon TAPE.


So now i need to let the tape dry before i can start the engine........ Dont want any leaks ;)










Joking you bitches :D :D :D

Its running  :thumbup:

 Now i just need to time it , adjust the carb and the valves again then drive this bitch 8)

Thanks.....
