FORD V8 ENGINES 209 Cylinder block Core plug Strike here with hammer Drift 8 the treated area, the block is cracked and should be replaced. 3. Check flatness of the cylinder block deck. Place an accurate straightedge on the block. If there is any gap between the block and straightedge, measure it with a feeler gauge. Measure from end to end and from comer to comer. 4. Measure the cylinder bores with a bore gauge (Figure 74) as described under Piston Clearance Check in this chapter. If the cylinders exceed maximum tolerances, they must be rebored. Reboring is also necessary if the cylinder walls are badly scuffed or scored. Before boring, install all main bearing caps and tighten the cap bolts to specifications in Table 2. CORE PLUGS Check the condition of all core plugs in the block (Figure 73) and cylinder head whenever the engine is out of the boat for service. If any signs of leakage or corrosion are found around one plug, replace them all. Removal/Installation CAUTION Do not drive core plugs into the engine casting. It will be impossible to retrieve them and they can restrict coolant circulation, resulting in serious engine damage, 1. Tap the bottom edge of the core plug with a hammer and drift. Use several sharp blows to push the bottom of the plug inward, tilting the top out (Figure 75).
210 CHAPTER EIGHT 2. Grip the top of the plug with pliers. Pull the plug from its bore (Figure 76) and discard. 3. Clean the plug bore thoroughly to remove all traces of the old sealer. 4. Apply a light coat of Loctite Stud N' Bearing mount or equivalent to the plug bore. \ Pliers 5. Install the new core plug with an appropriate size driver or socket. The sharp edge of the plug should be at least 0.02 in. inside the lead-in chamfer.
