I am rebuilding my 7m-ge, i had some block work done on it at a machine shop. When i got the motor back i got a small box of parts that i did not take out of the block (plugs, bolts, etc...). All i have left are these 2 small plugs that i CANNOT figure out where they go. Any help would be great
two left over plugs?
- Thread starter knucklebuster
- Start date
One will be for the oil gallery at the front right side of the block behind the power steer pump the other will be the same gallery but at the back as pictured. (blue arrows)
I used the rear one for my aftermarket oil pressure gauge sensor.
IJ, you didn't reuse those freeze plugs did you?

Hey on the topic of oil galleys do 7ms have any inherit back to front pressure problems like small block fords do IJ?

Alright good to know. Seen some homebrew fixes before with npt fittings and high pressure lines tapped into the galleys but I was just curious.
By the way does a turbo oil pump flow better than stock NA when I build my motor or should I be looking for an aftermarket?
Always ran the stock internal hardpipes and fittings here with 0 issues, never seen any evidence at all to support the "fixes" people sell so figure if it's not broken don't fix it.stomis;1555620 said:
GTE Pump has longer gears for more volume per revolution, in an NA consider it a High volume pump, none of the after market pumps are "better", one of the Vendors was selling clearenced and coated GTE pumps awhile back and depending on how good their work was that would be an option.
Always prepped my own
