Get to a junk yard, there will be one. Besides you need to measure with it too, so don't skimp there....... What engine do you have, i'll measure mine for you if its a 22re.

I used 1/4" NPT tap, as Andy suggests in this post.

I'm pretty sure I used a 3/8 as said in my thread. To fill the old hole, it involved a bolt (possibly a nut on the back side) steel weld epoxy and gasket sealer.

Yay finally plugged. I ended up using a 9/16 freeze plug needed a little love from the drill to get it in but worked out good. Success after all was said and done . packed my oil pump. and got the front n rear crank oil seals replaced. n the pan n oil sump on. WOOT maybe ill get this motor back together so I can try to get it in. Thx guys YOTATECH ROCKS!!
