hello everyone,
i am in the process in putting my engine back together. i took it apart due to a blown head gasket.
i decided to pull the engine out and redo all the seals. cam tower, valve seals valve stem guide, water pump gasket etc...
well long story short, i am putting it back together while intsalling the oil fill tube, i noticed on the bottom right of the oil fill assembly on the block that there seems to be another hole...does anyone have a picture on what goes right there?
TIA
Carl

IIRC, nothing at all. I believe it had some use in the factory only, during production. You might post a picture, but I think I know exactly the one.

i impatiently dropped the engine in already , but i managed to find someone else's pic. highlighted is the hole in question.

Hello,
There should be a plug inserted into that lower hole if it was removed bottom right .

Nothing goes there - it is a blind hole. I guess you could plug it.

just as a note regarding the mystery hole...
if you look at towards the front of the block, underneath where the AC/alternator bracket goes, you'll see another identical hole to the mysterious "behind the AOS" hole.
