I have used brass 1/8" NPT pipe plugs to plug that exact hole. Use some sealant, and don't overtighten the plug or the tapered threads might crack the case. Be sure to use brass, as that is a better thermal expansion match to the case material. Steel is more likely to work loose and leak. > I can not bear to think about how upset I would have been if I actually > started the engine with that plug missing.
