Sounds possible. I can remember about something when I had the engine rebuilt years ago, the shop lost both of the jiggle plugs. I went to a friend that had one, I somehow got the correct size cup, drilled out a hole and put in a brad and flattened the point, to make do. I was told not too long ago that I should have just completely plugged the front and back of the galley.
Well if I go that far to remove fender and radiator, etc., might just as well to an engine rebuild.
I might be able to open one of the side plugs, and stick a wire toward the front to see if the jiggle plug is in place? Off to work, for now will contact you again later.
Thanks so much.
