Also I agree with Jerry that the cam plug can sneak down an oil port

I just do not see another spot where a .525 plug can come from based on looking at my bare heads and block.

Is it possible that some cams have a rear .525 plug?? or are they all identical.

I fear that it is an actual drop in oil pressure and idling and light driving will not pose a problem, but if you lean on it, the lack of pressure will show up as a cam or bearing problem..

Thanks for the pics. Yeah Marc just further confirmed the cam plugs as 1/8 NPT and apparently the only 1/4 NPT plugs in the head are the ones up by the cam chains where there is not really a feasible path into the bottom of the oil pan.
