Breather in centerplate
Just putting my engine back together and I don't remember but there is a small threaded hole next to where the oil filer neck goes, is this a breather? Can I just block it up?
Thanks in advance

A breather there? Are you sure it's not where the oil pressure transmitter goes? Have a picture?
