I'll make you a personal trade....pistons, rods and I'll buy you the castle plug.

On a serious note though, we have the studs as well.

okay, nevermind about where to get the plug, i just found my old front cover which still has the plug. Now my second question, do I need the castle plug socket tool or is there any other way to remove without too much damage? if not where can can I find this tool?

You can use a large pair of locking pliers or a common screwdriver...

I removed my old one by using a screwdriver and light tapping with a hammer since I wasn't too worried about messing up my old front cover (Yay new oil pump and cover).. Just remember "Lefty Loosy, Righty Tighty!" It's a threaded plug... turn it counter clockwise to loosen.

I know there used to be a tool for this but unfortunately, to my knowledge, it is not made anymore. The best way to get it out is to heat it, and use screwdrivers. Place a screwdriver on the "teeth" and tap it with a rubber mallet until it turns. This could very well kill the castle plug though.
