Young mechanic Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Can anyone tell me the part number and if you can get these brass plugs or copper plugs for the balancer in this German motor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HydroTek Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 As far as I know, you can not get them I would tap the holes and thread an allen screw They plug the lube passages for the balancer -- you can disassemble the balancer and blow out the passages pretty easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would create lower oil pressure right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HydroTek Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Oil pressure issues on that engine is a lot of times the front cam bearing Been a long time -- was thinking that the balancer is splash lubed but has oil ports to distribute the oil Take it off and look Why are you messing with the plugs ?
