Isaiah Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) I have a 61 235 that I put in my 1939 Chevy pickup and it has a oil leek and gets oil all over the fuel pump There is a small hole below the side pan. in fact it is in line with the second two side pan screws from the front . This is where we determined the oil is coming out ! I took a wire and put it in the hole and I could detect any threads. The hole is about .220 inches .Will that hurt anything if I put a plug it that hole? The engine runs good and carries good oil This 235 was in a 61 station wagon with a automatic tranny I took some parts off the 216 that was in it to make the 235 look like the 216. Changed the breather tube from the 216 to the 235 I have another truck with a 235 and I went and looked and it has a screw in that same spot. on another look at this it looks and feels as if there is a spring down in the hole .

Bimus Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 I checked one 235 I have and it has a machine screw that sits flat with the block .this week end I will see if its just a plug or what . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaiah Posted December 25, 2019 Author Share Posted December 25, 2019 (edited) What I learned is that is one of two screws that hold a baffle in place below the breather.. I was told that a #10 Sheet Metal Screw should do the trick. I put the 235 in my 1939 Chevy pickup and I changed some things to make it look like a 216.So I must of disturbed the screw when I changed the breather. I have a couple 216 blocks ill look and see if they have that screw . There is oil on the fuel pump and distributor and heater hoses . I'll let you know how it comes out. I also do have a 1948 Chevy 1 1/2 ton truck with a 235 in it. Edited December 26, 2019 by Isaiah (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isaiah Posted December 26, 2019 Author Share Posted December 26, 2019 (edited) The 235 will need a longer screw .main thing I want is to stop the oil leak. Edited December 26, 2019 by Isaiah add info (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaiah Posted January 1, 2020 Author Share Posted January 1, 2020 I didn’t have any luck getting a sheat metal screw to catch and hold so I made a taper pin and plugged the hole in the block. If it goes to making any noise Ill pull the pan and do what needs to be done. Thank You for the help. Happy New Year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
