What's the options for plugging the oil port in the head when sourcing oil from the OFH? I am looking at maybe doing something simple like a bolt from Home Depot or something if I can't find a factory plug at the pullapart yard. Also what cars would have them? NT eclipse? Hyundais? Or if I have to order one, which site is best?

Yes, order a factory block off bolt, from a NT eclipse along with a new crush washer.

I think the bolt is a m10 1.25 bolt but unsure of length if you dont want to wait for shipping.

I personally just used a bolt from the hardware store. About 10-15mm long should do.

Just found 2 at the junkyard. 1 from a turbo 2G and 1 from a 90 SOHC Galant. Both are identical and fit perfect. Hope this helps somebody else.

All turbo 2g's will have them because the turbo feeds from the ofh. They are also in all non turbo 1g's with a 4g63. I found a '94 galant that had a 2.4l dohc and looked to have a 2g head?? That had the plug as well.
