Default 4l80e check *****

Got the transmission all back together and it's mostly stock. Only thing I did was the dual feed and drilled the plate according to Jake's write up. Now for the check *****, does anything change since I did the dual feed mod? I noticed Jake had a picture of where to put the check ***** (had the locations marked with red X's). Do I put my check ***** in the same locations ?

Sorry, just realized I was looking at the TH400 check *****, mine is the 4L80E.
Is there anything to drill on the 4L80E seperator plate like the TH400 (i was planning on doing that again and after rechecking I realized I was looking at the TH400 instructions).

Also - the hole to plug on the bottom of the case for finishing the dual feed mod, I have a 3/8" tap but the hole is a hair bigger, where can I get a plug for this ?

I read somewhere that I don't want to block off the accumulator due to towing and such, is that true?

Also, what size is the plugs you have? My 3/8" tap seems to be pretty accurate but the hole in the bottom of the case is just a hair bigger so the tap does no good.

And I did read for the TH400 drilling the plate to .125 is ok, is that the same for the 4L80E or should I not touch that? Right now its just a basic rebuild, and the dual feed.
