Title: Need part # for drain plug for block
Post by: 76m2002 on April 29, 2012, 09:01:03 PM

I've lost the bolt that acts as a plug in the m42 block for the cooling system.  This is the bolt under the exhaust manifold, at the rear of the block.

I can't find this bolt in realoem to order another, can anyone help with the #?

Thanks!  And, wouldn't you know it, now that I know the part to order, I found the bolt.  I'll give you the credit.
