200x question

[xman23]

anybody ever crack the oil plug on these, last night i went to go change oil and when i was taking it out it cracked, will like a 200s or 185 oil plug work or are they different than the 200x

yes i cracked them back in the 80s....what i did was use one of the ones on the valve cover for the oil drain and put the cracked one in the valve cover since its not getting that much oil on it it didnt leak to bad .....i only did this till the new one came in

Thanx.....do they usually crank preety easy so they dont wreck the part of the motor it screws into if its to much presure or to tight?

well if its cracked most of the way around i wouldnt trust it...if its a little id put some jb weld on the crack after i snugged it down
