Where is socket head oil galley plug?
While trying to make way on my turbo install for my turbonetics automatic kit I ran across these instructions:
3. Remove the accessory belt from the alternator. 4. Remove the battery cable from the alternator and lower out of mount. 5. Remove the socket head oil galley plug from the side of the engine block.  Does anyone know how to do step 5, need help ASAP! Last edited by DaFisch; 06-05-2014 at 06:15 PM. Reason: Forgot to add in question. |

By the look in the picture and the description in the instructions, it's behind the alternator toward the bottom front drivers side of the engine block.

I think it's where that 90 degree fitting is. You take the plug out and install the 90 degree fitting

There is no need to remove the alt to install the new plug and fitting. If I remember right, I removed the bottom 2 bolts and swiveled it out of the way when I installed mine.

Go to vortech's site and download the instructions for installing one of their units (specifically the Ysi). It details, very well, about how to remove the alternator.

there is a 4th bolt thats under where the head gasket would be up above that plug your trying to get to, should be a 15mm bolt that goes into the side of the block that supports the alternator.
