correct ...
those 2 plugs are for drilling the oil passage.
threaded plugs go in the back
when you get a block hot tanked for cleaning, it is best to have these removed and then reinstalled. in the dozens of engines i have rebuilt over the years the machine shop has always reinstalled them ... till now.
i should have noticed they were missing but i didn't.
as soon as i removed the splash shield i knew what the issue was. i called the shop and he admitted that he probably forgot.
so, is it my fault? no
but
in reality, i was the one assembling the engine and i should have noticed the missing plugs. my bad and my fault.
plugs are in, 5L of oil remained in the pan so all is good.
cheers and thanks for playing along
axles and airbags are mounted ...
the Ubolts are torqued to 90 lbs as per spec and then marked.
