I finally got my engine back together enough to start and 10 seconds in it spit out one of the oil galley plug and puked a quart (at least) on my garage floor before I hit the kill switch.
It’s a dry sump system. Suggestions? I sincerely hope I can do a fix in place.  |

If one came out on its own, I wouldn't trust any of them...
You've got three to do in that picture and one is at a serious angle! I'd pull it. I learned (on Italian junk) to NEVER trust swagged in passage plugs. Every Alfa engine I've been into had MISSING welch plugs in the crank! Adding plugs in the Alfa cranks has always included a rebalance. Normal method to repair for me has been carefully tap for a pipe plug. I'd add air pressure behind the missing plug to not allow shavings into engine. Did you notice oil pressure? It's possible a stuck pressure relief valve over pressurized it. I once had a Honda engine that was BLOWING oil filters OFF the engine. It PEGGED a 300psi gauge. It was quite messy... |
