Milodon 27500 - Hemi Spark Plug Tube Seals question #1593549 03/16/14 07:30 AM 03/16/14 07:30 AM

I have heard that these seals have to be individually modified to fit each plug hole but I'm wondering if I can machine the heads rather than the seal inserts so the inserts fit without any modification at all. Is there enough alloy in these heads to machine them the minimum amount to fit the seal inserts without cutting into or getting too close to the water jackets. Thanks

I bought a set for the Coronet and have not installed them yet. 1957 Power wagon wm300 original 10.000 mile truck, 1964 dodge Polara Convertible numbers matching

As an Engineer I was worried about the seal inserts not going in straight as the top of the bore they press into is way higher on one side than the other. Maybe I'll machine a screw in guide to hold them dead straight/square while I tap them in with a correctly sized tube.
