Jeez, life has sucked lately. Finally starting to get this thing back to running.
Okay, I had a saga changing the timing belt, where the timing tool--which locks the crankshaft--bent and got stuck. I managed to cut out the business end, so now I don't have to worry about the crankshaft.
But the grip end is still stuck in the hole that would normally have a plug torqued into it. Basically it would act as a slightly loose plug.
Is this going to affect oil pressure or anything? Any cause for concern aside from maybe a small leak? Or do I really need to buckle down and drill it out?
