Re: Rear oil journal plug needed

Yes it's on the back left side of the engine block totally forgot to put it in when I took the engine off the stand and got it started and it puked all the oil out had to drop the transmission to get to it again. Do you know if they might be generic where I could buy one at an auto part store
