Strange Method For Oil Galley Plug Retention
 

First time I have seen this method for retaining the front press in oil galley plugs. Now if they had only put the piston/rod assemblies in the correct bank and lined up the timing marks on the timing gears properly they probably would have had a decent running engine.

Looks like they tried peening them in with a railroad spike then went full on Larry the cable guy on it.
I like the lettered rods, I guess they were dyslexic though

I bet that ran great with a couple bottles of octane boost 😎

Bwaahaahaaaa

It was prolly running on 1/2 gal plastic bottles of Bourbon before that. ;)

Limited edition RA/CC = RAM AIR/COTTON CANDY...……….:eek:

It's known to be worth at least $.50 over any other similar Stratostreak V8....;)

The worst thing is that it’s pink!

Wow.

They drilled the block for a aluminum rivet ?? A little JB weld and staking the plug will do it.
Besides, this guy needs his Pontiac card pulled for the paint job.

What makes you think he has a card LOL.

"I don't need no stinking card"

Maybe it was a Mary Kay car in a previous life

Does it have RRE stamped on it anywhere? Could be a Bruce Fulper engine. He is an expert Pontiac engine rebuilder after all.

Might have worked if he had used silver (1964 or earlier) quarters.

Lol

Maybe it's Richard Simmons car??? :eek:

Close to the pink that was on a TA at Norwalk a few years ago.

Definitely not a nickel and dime build.

Holy crap!

Well if your ever short for Change at a Toll both you can always pull your timing cover!

I'm speechless. How can one justify that?

I guess it's what's to be expected for someone who paints a Pontiac engine that color.

.

Seems it would be a PITA to do it that way versus tapping the holes or driving in/staking a plug. What does it look like under the coins?
