Where are the Oil Gallery Plug holes located on the front of the engine?
I am reassembling my 1996 460 and have found a mystery hole behind the Timing Gear Cover. It's a 3/8" threaded hole that goes at least an inch deep. It's on the 1,2,3,4 side of the engine and close to the crank gear. This engine was a sludged up mess when I bought it and took it apart so I don't remember taking anything out of a hole behind the cover. There's two other holes on the front that are the same size but they are outside the Cover so I just figured they were mounting holes but maybe not.
Could these be oil gallery plug holes? Did the machine shop forget to put the plugs back in the front of the engine? If so where can I get new ones?
I added a picture to help. This isn't my engine (I stole the picture from another post) but look at the red circles. The one with the red arrow pointing to it is the one that is behind the timing cover and the main one I'm concerned with. I really appreciate all the help on this guys.
