Engine welsh plugs

[Andydodge]

The only things on the 230 block now are the 2 plugs at the rear that are located behind the flywheel and one plug at the front inside the timing cover........one of the plugs at the rear I think is at the end of the cam gallery, the other rear and front plugs are water jacket plugs I think.......is it o/k to remove these then get the block boiled/dipped etc?.........I can't find any reference to any of these plugs in the various mopar workshop manuals I have so am I right in assuming that they come out in the same manner as the normal 5 on the dissy side of the block?.......thanks, andyd

Andy,

To my best knowledge these core pougs are the same as all the others in MoPar blocks. On the rear, the one on the left is coolant, one on the right is camshaft. If you're gonna' have the block tanked, I'd surely remove all these plus the pipe plugs in the oil galleys as well as the one you mentioned inside the timuing cover. Best chance you'll ever have to renew this stuffl JMHO:)
