Are there any welsh plugs in the back of the 2.6l engine?????


my front ones have been replaced as well as all of the water hoses, but the little B*^CH is still leaking water like anything....

i had a thought that there might have been welsh plugs in the back of the engine(i could have been somking something when i was thinking that), but i could be dreaming. It could also mean that its finaly time for a new head gasget :cry:.

if it is time for a new head gasget, approx how much would it cost to get a new one(inc. regrinding)? i did recently enquired about one and they said something about a kit that has all the gasgets that need to be changed?

the car has done almost 200K (180K to be more exact) so is it worth doing the timing chain as well?

and one final thing....

i would like to attempt to do this at home but i would like to have someone that has some idea what there doing... so when i do end up doing it is there anyone that would be able to help me?(need to get some funds before i do it though....)


thanx all

yeah, there is welch plugs on both sides of your motor...

in the 2.6L there are 5 welch plugs in the block side facing the fire wall, 4 small and one large,
there is one in the back of the block half visable behind the top of the bellhousing. there are 3 in the side of the block facing the radiator and one in the back of the head.
have fun getting to them and the little ones are a bi#ch to get back out of the block even with the head/manifold off :badgrin:
