Merc crank plugs

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by flatordead, May 9, 2008.

  1. I have a merc crank here that is out of a really gummed up engine. Shure needs the oil channels cleaned. Since the plugs are 5/8", what is a common plug to use. I can't buy these 5/8 plugs seperat over here. I might need to get a complete engine freeze plug set. What engine does have these plugs. Or how about tapping and screw in some plugs.
    Any tips would be great.............

    I tapped mine out using a 3/8 pipe tap and used allen head pipe plugs,of course i had the crank re balanced.A little more work but you don`t have to worry about the press in plugs coming out.
