Please bear with me. I'm hot on working on the engine and will have lots

questions.
I pulled out the oil filler tube from the engine and will need a freeze

plug

to close it. Did anybody do that, and where did you get the plug and

the

size. Or I have to start canvassing the auto parts stores.

Paul suggested I move it to the Crank angle sensor location and it

looks

good there. I think if I can find an old core crank angle sensor I can

cut

it and make an oil filler base from the part that fits in the cover.
Later I will ask how to make the trigger located on the flywheel.

The hardware store has rubber plugs that have a bolt through them.
You tighten the bolt and plug expands sealing the hole.

Thanks Paul.

Bulent,

If you prefer a metal freeze-plug, try Dorman p/n 555-019.  Worked for me.

Mark

Thanks Mark. I feel better with the metal freeze plug.
