So, my question is...
oh. I guess I already asked it.
Anybody know? It's either 5/8x18, or M16x1.5.

Quick question- What size is the oil galley plug on the front face of the block?
- Thread starter supraguy@aol
- Start date
Don't have a 7M here to check but more than likely it's 3/8 bspt, all of the early Toyota engines were built using British Tooling after the war so a lot of the holes are tapped to BSP where pipe fittings were needed.
Update-
(since SO many people obsess over this life-altering issue...)
The oil galley plug is neither NPT or BSP. Apparently, it's a metric size.
I didn't really need to know the oil galley plug size per se, but rather the rear collant bleed valve near the back of the block.
My bleed valve is so corroded and useless, that I figured I'd just throw an oil galley plug in its place.
I checked the fit of an oil plug in the hole, and it fit perfectly, but the dealer wants $35(!!!) for one.
Thus, the hunt for a replacement part. I guess it's a metric size after all.

For some reason I thought they were tapered back and front... it's been a long time since I've had a 7M so might be mistaken on this.
Ditto on on the crank plugs.

I can't remember the front Oil plug bottoming so can't see how it would seal if it's not tapered?
