Does anyone know
There is a plug on the bottom of the engine block on the drivers side near the motor mount. Does anyone know what this plug is for? I was wondering if it would be useful for my oil lines I need to run for my turbo setup. Does anyone know if I can run my oil return line for my turbo to my dipstick hole? For my turbo oil lines I am thinking of going with a 1/4"inlet, and a 1/2" for the outlet. How would this work out?

That plug is a to drain the coolant out of your block so don't do it!!! Also, you can't use the dipstick for a drain cuz it's wayyyy too small!!!! Drop the pan dude and do it right:)tony/ka24de wrote:There is a plug on the bottom of the engine block on the drivers side near the motor mount. Does anyone know what this plug is for?
