wilbur Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I have 2000 e7 460 with Jake. The last time about 3yrs ago when I was gonna adjust the valves I noticed I had 1 plug missing from each shaft. I went to the auto parts store an got all new plugs a little deeper than the original. Today when I took it apart to adjust valves the front plug on the rear shaft was out. How do you guys remedy this? I was thinking of Tig welding the plugs in. What do you think?

br549 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 We clean good and put loctite on the plugs and we never had any come loose. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38657-rocker-shaft-freeze-plugs/#findComment-276616 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackpro Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Loctite makes a "flange sealant" that we use in our shop. Never had one come back out.

Ezrider Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 i had the same thing happen on my 2000 460 e-7 as well i found it because the Jake was not working on that head. i put one in with lock tight and so far so good.

wilbur Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 I have external oil lines on mine. It didn't effect the Jake that much. I found it when I took apart to adjust valves.
