Blanked off hole on 205 block?
I'm intrigued to know what this is used for? Can anyone shed any light onto my curiosity?

I've taken the nut out and put a water temp probe going to a smiths gauge in mine.

Tighten the block to the engine stand, i snapped a top lug/bolt hole and made my only 200 block scrap by not having it tight!!

I'll double check tomorrow - I think I've got a bung handy, and I've got the taps.The tapping drill for 3/8 npt is 9/16, which seems about right
