Oil Splitter Plug -- 360

Not true. You may think That the oil galleys are clean, but if the motor was especially gunked up with sludge, residual sludge can be left up against the plug and then come loose after the new motor is fired up. For a 50 cent plug and 2 minutes of labor, I'm not going to take that chance.

Whatever you want to think, but this plug only exists because of the machining procedure. Chrysler does not recommend removing it nor does it need to be removed to reach every thousandths of an inch of the oil galleys.
