Silber says this is his personal experiment. He is not evangelizing use of his freeze plug. And if you have been around the M96 as long as I have you will have read prior discussion(and rejection) of the freeze plug + ball bearing idea by an expert(not me- although I was the one who asked that specific question).
Let's try to help Silber ? it is like a Jake Raby destruction test without all the instruments and dyno
The Freeze plug dimensions and material choice.
1. How do you define Interference fit?give the 0.0000"
2.Why use plug material with a different coefficient of expansion ?
3. Use Bearing Seal ? High temp Epoxy?
I do hope no destruction occurs !
