Thread: HELP! Identify the missing piece.

Yep appears to be a freeze plug

That's a standard hole... it's open on all 3800's that I've ever seen. It is open into the flex plate to TC area. No worries...totally normal.

This ^^^

I was gonna say...after rebuilding mine from the ground up...there are a few spots where nothing goes, hell even the bell housing has a spot for a bolt but there isn't a hole in the block on the other side...

That would be a hole...And it appears to be doing it's job very well..

And like blue said, after I put my engine back together, there were a few places where nothing went.

Yup just a hole, just keep it out of the pistons.

Okay my bad, for some reason I thought I was looking at the side of the block. Yeah I noticed that hole when I had my engine out as well.

The funny part is...that hole is on every block, right on the front where we can easily see it. Yet....we never notice it.

We've all done the same thing and freaked out like you did.. That part is normal too.

I never freak out...... I must be special.

Ya might..if ya killed your first L67 on an engine stand. (true story)

Howd you do that?

Very carefully.

I will take your word on that mr. piston delete expert. lol

Actually...for some reason its Moderator...I can't change it back even in the options menu.

Matts is still different hmmm

I.

Know.

It took a bit of planning and running 3-4 other guys projects going on at the same time.
