gt6878e Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 hi there....i just replaced the core plugs on my gt6 mk1 and they were a bucket type (like a short botttle top)........i just knocked the old ones out by piercing them with an old screwdriver, then prised them free. Then cleaned off the hole.....put a good thick coat of thread lock (locktite) on the new ones and knocked them in with an old socket..... worked a treatdarren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombruton Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 Thanks for that. Sounds pretty simple (famous last words....)Anyone know if I need bucket or dished type? I know they're 1 1/2", but i've never seen the difference between the two. I guess the dished ones have a convex/concave bottom, as opposed to a flat bottom?Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heraldcoupe Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 On a 1300 or 1500 you will need the deep dished type. The saucer type core plugs were phased out mid 1960s, the only 4-cylinder engines falling into the either/or category are the 1147 types.Cheers,Bill.
