Ed,

I have a couple of question about your plug up = installation.=20 How do you access the oil pan bolts located behind the oil reservoir and = allow=20 for oil drain back? Also I see what looks like an additional tube (black = arrow)=20 in the attached photo. Can=E2=80=99t figure out what it=E2=80=99s for. = Is it a  support=20 bracket?

 

Thanks,
