I finished stripping my block down (289) to take to the Machinist. I removed the plug and pressure relief spring, but I'm wondering if there's something else in there that needs to come out, like a cup or plunger. Thanks, guys...

Yes there's plunger in there. They are sometimes ornery to get out, do a forum search on the topic for advice on how to remove. I've had good luck with an easy-out gently tapped into the plunger and then a process of pushing and pulling it back and forth to pull it out of the bore. Recommend using a solvent such as carb cleaner to clean out the bore as there is likely some accumulated gunk in there.Dan Peterson

After spraying with your favorite lubricant, the taper of a Pencil gently forced into the hole in the center will usually, but not always do the trick depending if it is gunked up badly or not.StudeRich

Tony,
You and your machinist are both aware of the pipe plug in the oil galley just under the distributor--yes?"All attempts to 'rise above the issue' are simply an excuse to avoid it profitably." --Dick Gregory
