The Smog port? I'm pluging the injection port. Does it line up with the valve?
I could not find 10 X 1.0mm 45 mm long socket head cap screws, so I cut the heads off of some regular cap screws and RTV sealed them. the 17mm head interfered with the intake manifold. Should of just ground the cap round and cut a screw slot. Thanks |

I had the Allen 'plug' at cyl #1 come out once. I didn't realize it was the Allen at first, I thought I just had an exhaust leak. (which it actually is, being that it's an air-injection port bore going down into into the exhaust port just beyond the valve).
At first, I removed the muffler and left HE and replaced the copper exhaust seals, but still had the leak (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) Next, I checked it at night and saw flames shooting out of the port. I looked around and found the Allen laying on the engine shelf. I removed all of the plugs and added a small dab of blue lok-tite when I reinstalled them. |
