Hello everyone,
I need some help again.I took tons of pics when I tore my engine down,but can't find the one I now need.I'm trying to locate the correct sizes for the freeze plugs near the oil gallery on the rear of the block and also the ones on the front of the block that are partially covered by a metal retainer for the cam.My biggest problem right now though,is that I thought there was some type of plug that covers the rear of the camshaft,but I'm not sure.Would some of you mind helping me out here? Thanks in advance.

PS.
I can't find a pic or info. in the Buick manual or Chilton,s manual.

Iddie,
I will try to remember to look in my books at the shop on Monday. If you have not heard from me by Monday night, send me an e-mail reminder.

Camshaft plug is just like a freeze plug. you could probably get a steel or stainless one and it would be fine.
