Can anyone tell me what size plug is needed in the bottom of the case half on the 3/4 side? I tried filling with oil first time and it ran right out of this hole as fast as I poured it in. It is towards the rear of the engine and is slightly left of the oil pump. Can anyone identify this for me?

Are you talking about the oil pressure control port? If so that requires a spring, plug/piston and a screw plug. The engine will quickly seize without those components. It is lucky that you didn't get further.

Yes, those are the parts I needed. I have the pieces now and will be installing shortly. Glad the oil ran right out or I would have been in a heap of trouble.

Thanks guys
