This week I was getting the boat ready for the water again and decided to change the drain plug on my engine. I have a 2003 Supra SSV with the 5.7 TBI engine. One side has the knock sendsor and the other side has the drain plug. Last summer I had a hard time getting the drain plug back in because the threads in the block rusted some even though I had put a little grease on them. So this year I got a brass fitting from my work with a cap that I installed so I will not have to remove the plug anymore from teh block and take a chance of messing up the threads. I can just remove the cap on the end. I just wanted to post this incase others are interested. Just screwed the threaded end into the block and then the cap on the other end.
