I use two 1/16 pipe plugs in the bottom of the
intake to seal off the standard oiling but
I forgot that they are in my W-2 engine so I
will have to order up a couple.. I was hoping
to get the W-5 done today.. oh well I will
get them maybe next week.. 1 1/16" is sorta
hard to find being a odd size

They are available in brass. Might be an easier find.

Drill and tap them for 1/4" if that's possible to prevent future issues?

I have used them for oil restrictors and such. Had to get a box from MSC. Hardware store guys looked at me like I had three heads when I asked them.

Fastenal # is 24131 if that helps.

If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.
