My 951 is not this way. I have been reading for 2 weeks there is no mention of this. What the hell did this valve come from?

I'll head downstairs this afternoon to my '83 and see if mine is the same.
I know the OPRV on this model was updated later, but I'm not certain of the appearance of the original part.

The PDF never mentioned what I am seeing though. I just want to know what the deal is before I change the gasket out. Maybe it is from another kind of car?

When I get out that style of bolt, I place the allen socket in after soaking it with a bit of penetrating fluid, then give the allen socket a whack inwards with a hammer.
Normally loosens things quite a bit.
I also have a lot more luck with impact style removal of these bolts rather than gradual force.
As such, if it won't come out with my 1 foot long wrench, it gets the rattle gun :P

Looks like a drain port. Torque 25 ft lbs and new crush washer
EDIT: Now I see it is Part 35

Yes I did use an alignment tool, the plunger slide in and out very easy with the hole aligned right , I didn't have any problem with mine stripping, just hurt like h#*l when it popped loose. I had bought the o-ring but this style only uses the washer at the end, no o-rings

Unfortunately, my engine is in too many pieces to identify it easily.
The oil cooler assembly is buried somewhere in my mountain of little clear plastic bags.
Sorry.
