    Hi everyone just working away on some winter projects and came across this while upgrading the clutch and flywheel from Vivid.
    Once I removed the flywheel there was a small amount of oil sitting in the center of the crank shaft. I'm assuming it is coming from the end plug, the only place it can originate from.
    Need some advise on the proper proceedure for re- seal and the proper sealant to be used.
    Should I replace the plug and will it be difficult to remove since it's a soft metal plug?

    Thanks Kink

    Take it out, apply Locktite 518 on threads and reinstall.
