crank leaking oil

Do any of you guys find a particular approach works better than another for sealing a Bryant crank freeze type plug so it does not leak oil. into can area.
Lock tight and silicone...?
Thanks everyone

 

I always used RTV.

 

I assume you're talking about the hole drilled thru the main journals?

Are blown alky guys using cranks drilled like this?

What is the advantage;
-overall weight
-stronger
-air movement in the crankcase

 

No the freeze plug in rear where an input shaft bearing would go ...

 

Yeah I hear ya but I'm assuming if the rear one is drilled thru than the other mains are also hollow?

 

Is that not typical if it is. For a blown hemi.

 

I put Gasgacinch inside the crank and on the freeze plug just as if you were putting it in a water block. Drive it all the way in until it bottoms out, put the snap ring on and maybe a layer of grey silicon if your nervous about it. If you don't have a freeze plug driver find a 1/2 drive sock that will fit inside the freeze plug as a driver and make sure it goes in square. Never had one leak.

 

Ok good a trick that works. just what I needed. Thanks randy cj
