Merry Christmas to All.

IF you are talking about the casting plug, no harm done. Replace it using red loctight and check and top fluids. If stripped, the usual cures apply.

Thanks for the info EZ2Rider. Already replaced. What a dumba$$ I was. No wonder why the plug didnt want to come out. with the Loctite on it. Lesson learned.
