Do you recommend to tap the front weight for a pipe plug instead of a press in plug?

Hi Tom, without a doubt, have all 4 tapped. The nice part about the Merc's starting with the 5/8" plugs is they don't need drilling, they're already the correct size to just tap for the 3/8" NPT thread!

Thanks, Gary in N.Y.

P.S. In all my time doing these builds we've literally done hundreds of those crank holes, more than 90% were Merc's, we did some Ford's way back in time.
