super a rebuild 2 questions.

i have 2 questions

1. i am looking for the front crank pulley seal. the one with a wear ring that goes on the pulley to repair the worn in groove. my ih dealer says they only list the seal without a ring. does anyone have the part number for the one with the wear ring, and where to buy it?

2. im replacing the 2 freeze plugs on the back of the block with new ones. they are nothing like the brass ones im used to with chevys and such. they are bowl shaped. which way does the highest point in the middle of the bowl point, in the block or out of the block. hope this diagram goes through.

outside = ) or outside = (

() is supposed to = how its supposed to be.

and how do you recomend installing it? i often use the yellow trim adhesave on chevy freeze plugs, but what about these?

thanks for any and all help

but next question is about the freeze plug, it makes sense about which side goes out now, but what kind of sealer? the age old "blue glue" or the orange or black rtv? or the yellow trim adhesave "called snot glue by some" what the general opinion about this

• Seal with Sleeve

The plugs are 2" and 1 5/8" shallow frost plugs on my motor. Convex side out.

Question 2 - I always put them in with the convex side out. I guess it's outside = (
I use a little gasket sealer on them and then tap it to expand it until it's tight. I don't know if it's the right way, but it seemed to work for me.

By the way, only one is a "freeze plug". The other is at the rear end of the camshaft.
