Block plug - ForcedInduction - 08-29-2009
What is this plug? Main oil gallery, a second coolant drain?
RE: Block plug - totaldisaster - 08-30-2009
oil cooler line mounting point. There's supposed to be a mounting bracket there.
Are those hose clamps I see on your cooler lines?.... tsk tsk, Forced
...I'll assume its b/c of the oil bypass filter

Compare to what was unknowingly on my 300TD for about 2 years, until I discovered it during the 300TD-240D engine swap.

ooohhh..
pretty colors. They're rather patriotic if I do say so.
I can live with that, but do we agree that you can over tighten a hose clamp and greatly depreciate its holding strength?
HEY! what brand makes the orange in-line filter?

My method is to only use 3 fingers on the screwdriver.
