    Not positve, but I think it is an "oil galley" plug, will only have oil when running, we have dry sump oiling systems

    That's what I'm here for to unload some of the useless knowledge I have been storing for years.;)

    But their is a timing mark on the crank and that where it is viewed. They even sell clear or windowed plugs to put in place of the factory one.
