some silly questions
Hey everyone. finishing the last steps of puting my engine back together today and i have hit 2 walls.
Firstly I need to reattach my dipstick and its holder, have found the sump hole but i cant see or feel where the hole is for the bracket to screw into. this might be hard to get a picture of so any verbal directions might help? it seems stupid but i just couldnt work out where the little bracket attatches to the block.
Secondly i have just found out that i stupidly ditched my sump plug when i ditched my old oil... im sure im not the first to do this. i droped it in the bucket when taking it out and forgot to grab it out. wheres my best bet to get another one? wreckers or can i just get any bolt the same size.
Cheers guys hope everyones had a good dads day

the sump plugs were aviable new, try to get 1 with a magnetic, or glue a magnet onto the end of the new plug, it attracts little bits of metal shavings that are floating in the sump
