Default Crankshaft plug...

Well, I was not aware of the crankshaft plug until after I made several attempts to removal the pilot bearing. Needless to say I am alittle worried about the possibility of oil starvation now. I can see the plug is in place, but I am hearing the margin for error is 1/4".

1)any way to know if damage was done? Measurements, etc

2)replacement procedure?

Was thinking of measuring with a dial gauge on my spare crank and comparing to the one in the car.

Does the field service manual have the depth listed? It does for the LS6

Spoke to Marc Haibeck, needs to be pushed in 1/2" before it interfers with oiling. I will pull the Pilot and check proper sealing
