Hey guys I am in a pinch. I got the TA fired up for the first time with the new motor in it today but I have a small issue. On the driver’s side of the motor there are two oil ports by the oil filter housing and I can’t find plugs for them. Its roughly ¼ inch but I cannot find anything even close to the thread in the garage. Please help ASAP. I am moving in 2 days and need the car to be drivable.

On a positive note despite the setbacks she did fire up on the first crank with a charged battery. Of course I cut the engine off as soon as it fired due to the oil coming out of the ports.

They should be pipe thread, 1/4" NPT. A standard pipe plug should work - available at any parts/hardware store.

Turns out that they are not oil ports. I ran the car for about 15 seconds and no oil came out of them. I have 5 quarts of oil in the pan and oil pressure is 65 lbs. on start up. Are there any other sensors that should be hooked up on the driver’s side of the motor other than the coolant temp sensor and oil level sensor?

Nope.

Strange ports that look like something should go into them but do nothing lol. Thanks for the help guys. I should have paid more attention when the motor was on the stand.

Are they the factory oil cooler ports that had water lines running to them?
