Yeah. I was trying to think what would be in the way with the engine on the vehicle. I think the starter and the crank sensor connector need to be removed to access that one.I didn't realize the back starter side was 8mm. that's good to know.
And I guess the large, 17 mm one is that large because it serves dual purpose: drain plug and block heater.
I guess I didn't realize (until now) these engines no longer have those older style "freeze plugs" or I guess technically core plugs. There's only a small one that style on the front near the pump, and gets covered by the front timing cover. All the rest are threaded. I like threaded.
