No need to replace the plugs at the ends of the oil gallery unless you have
your machine shop put the block into a caustic tank, in which case the
aluminum plugs dissolve and must be replaced. if you run in to that
situation, drop me an email and I'll tell you how to do it.
However, when you have the head done, I'd replace the core plug on the
backside of the head. These do fail. The same comments apply to the caustic
tank and the effect on the big aluminum plug in the top of the head.
