Engine Guru's,

I have a IO-360-L2A that I recently recieved and I need to reinstall a new expansion plug on the front of the crank (part STD-1211). Can someone forward me a IO-360 Overhaul Manual, or Paragraph 7-62 out of the manual.
That is what is called out in SB 505B.

My new plug wasn't real tight going in and I'm concerned that it might result in a leak. Is this plug supposed to have a lot of friction as it is seated into place? I have a tool that equally distributes the force so that the plug is not offset wedged. Any help appreciated.

Thanks

The plug is "dished". When you install it (convex side out), you will need to "flatten" it somewhat with a blunt object. Once you do that it should not leak.

Thanks for the responses.........I came to the conclusion that I'm being way too gentle.
