Inner sactum oil galley plug

I was talking about a threaded plug (see foto where the 5/16" allen wrench is sticking out of the block). Did not even know about this other one toolmanmike is explaining.

I looked for this "secret" pressed in plug and found it still in place, located about 2 1/4 inches below the oil port hole in the block/rear main cap that is fed from the oil pump. I'm not about to remove that sucker. Yes, you do learn something new every day and often times thanks to members of this very forum.

That plug has to come out. It closes up the driver side oil lifter galley.
If you forget to put it back in you will have low oil pressure.
But to get into the galley with a brush to clean the galley you should remove it and the front one under the cam thrust plate to flush out the galley.
