1979 AJ Engine Rebuild

Murbella – Day 31 – AJ Engine Rebuild Starts

Posted on 2020-05-312020-06-03

So I suppose I can officially consider the first day of the engine rebuild since I always mark Day 1 with the post last cleaning plugging of the case! (We’ll just pretended everything to this day was Day 0!)


AJ Engine Rebuild, Day 1

The case was cleaned one final time with some soapy water and rinsed with the exterior getting a bit more scrubbing of old gasket sealant that had dripped. I had to call it quits or else I’d just waste more time on things that are no important for this rebuild.

Case Plugging

The drilled and tapped oil galleries and assorted other new holes were plugged with NPT plugs purchase from Jegs, using Permatex Aviation Sealant as a thread sealant.

Previously I used a hydraulic thread sealant for the plugs but after looking at products, it makes that the Permatex Aviation Sealant would work perfectly fine for this application.
