Re: Advice on removing engine? - New Pics added and a question

Regarding the odd core plug, here are a couple more pictures. It's copper as it is starting to turn green. There is a carriage-type bolt that comes through the back to where the cap nut was attached. I can only guess that tightening the nut squeezes the plug, forcing it to be wider and makes a seal.
This is a stock Packard 352 engine stamped 5587. My car is a 5582 but as far as I can tell, the only difference between a 5582 and 5587 engine is the stamping of the model number...

thanks for info on baffle. I will try to find one.
